False 1. Your belief does effect everything .As soon as witches, werewolves, or Santa Clause start infringing on the rights of atheists, they will be opposed too. So far they have all been no problem.
A pastor refusing to conduct a same-sex marriage does not infringe on their rights - they can go somewhere else and find someone who WILL perform the ceremony. If the pastor who refused was the ONLY pastor who could do such a thing then maybe. The same-sex couple still has a choice, something liberals are trying to take away from the pastor in this case, a choice protected by the Constitution.
In the same way regarding abortions, I personally don't want to take away anyone's right to have an abortion (except in the case where the baby is capable of surviving outside the womb - specifically the barbaric later-term abortions or 'partial birth' abortions). Have as many as you want - I am not trying to take that right away from you. On the flip side, though, Liberals are stripping people who oppose abortions of their right NOT to engage in it or support it by SEIZING their tax dollars without their consent in order to pay for the abortions. Have all the abortions you want, but YOU pay for it, as it is an elective surgery.
But back to the main argument above - witches, werewolves, and Santa Clause -
How does having a manger scene up at Christmas time count as 'stripping you your rights or infringing on your rights'? There are pumpkins up at Halloween, Shamrocks up on Saint Patricks day, and no one who believes in Halloween or an Irish Holiday in America goes ape-Shi'ite to prevent those decorations on those holidays. And if you don't believe in God, a manger scene is nothing more than another holiday decoration....but it drives atheists nuts like no other decoration during any other holiday. It doesn't infringe on any right, but you guys act like its garlic to a vampire of kryptonite to superman.
Just really weird that something you don't believe in that does not effect you at all freaks you guys out so much and bring s out such rabid hatred.
Maybe the fact that the whole reason this country was founded was based on religious freedom is what freaks you out and makes you so angry / hostile?!
by saying things like I'll pray for you when the "Christian" has been told that their messages is not wanted.As soon as witches, werewolves, or Santa Clause start infringing on the rights of atheists
Please tell me how Christians have infringed upon the rights of Atheists.....
the right not to have a religion.
censorship.
a false sense of being "better" because you've been saved.
a false assumption that Christian morality is some how different then "average" morality
etc.
