Armen Tanzerian Religious fanatics -- out (28) RE: Religious fanatics -- out 11 Sep 01


Who said anything about driving anybody anyplace? People of very strong religious convictions are free to go wherever they want. They're free to approach me on the street and warn me I'm going to eternal damnation. They're free to speak openly anywhere they want. I just want religion out of government -- a government whose founders chose to make the very first words of amendment to our Constitution a bar against religion in government. We have a remedy, and the people of Florida took it when the overwhelmingly rejected as their senator a man who said he made every decision for his constituency by first praying about it. I do not want a government of "God told me to" in these United States, or anywhere else.

And if our guest sees nothing wrong with posting the Ten Commandments in a court of law, then he/she would have no objection to sitting before a Taliban judge as he pointed to the Koran and said, "you will be tried by what's in here."
