Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

True to an extent. The animalistic nature of human beings brings with it the natural ability to hate along with other strong emotions. Who to hate and who to love are taught by the caregivers.
A two-year-old will shove a tooth pick in the eye of another two-year-old over a toy. That's not taught, that's natural anger. What's taught is not to hit other kids.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
First amendment freedom of religion applies equally to red and blue states. Freedom of religion has always allowed types of discrimination for religious purposes. Students may be excused from the pledge of allegiance for religious purposes, Amish don't have to pay Social Security or attend school past the 8th grade because of religious beliefs. Jehovah's Witnesses may cover up the slogan on their license plate because of religious beliefs.
I'm not aware of cases prohibiting a religious exemption for somebody unless their church opposed the vaccination.
I don't think the courts would allow the government to determine if someone is "truly religious." They might be required to show their beliefs are "sincere" (conscientious objector).

Im aggressive but also fair with a sense of decency. I have had absolute WARS in here with both Concart and Diesel. But a funny thing happened along the way. About 6 weeks ago or so In a rare moment Diesel showed some real decency to me,...I returned that decency in kind, as anyone should. Since that time there has not been one cross word between us. Not one. Exact same thing happened with Concart a couple weeks ago. Im hoping it keeps going to be honest. Its all about common decency and respect with me. If I get it,...I will give it,.....doesnt matter who it is or what political party they vote for either. If the choice is between peace and war I will choose peace every single time if it is at all possible. IMO what we all need to remember is that just because we all may disagree politically it in no way means that the other person is some kind of monster because in most cases they are not. In fact, most are quite probably very nice people in the real world. There is only one Monster that inhabits this board,....that would be Dutch. He has no interest whatsoever in agreement,...only division.
