    maybe you should look at the dates that those two cases were decided and then re-evaluate your idiot premise
    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.

    What the fuck???

    Are you nuts as well as stupid?

    Where have you ever seen me suggest anything about the Constitutionality of the issue?

    Wake the fuck up.

    My arguments HAVE merit. You are just not up to the job of understanding what they are.

    I already assumed that, but will never waste the opportunity to take a shot at the present horrific SCOTUS.

    The founders are at fault--serious fault--for promising freedom of religion instead of the far more necessary freedom from religion.

    The Catholic Church, the Episcopalian Church, the Presbyterian church have enacted literally thousands of changes in the last six centuries. Religions evolve like every other institution. As far as I can tell the only universal binding religious requirement in world Christianity is to have faith in Christ and to try to emulate Jesus' example in this life.

    Yes, we have freedom from religion. At least from government jamming it down our throats as many of the Republican-backed Evangelistas have done, are doing and plan on doing some more.

    Agreed 100% but I'd still like to read the opinions of JPP's self-avowed "Christians" who think violence and domination is the path of their god.

    Pretty easy to spot the phonies. Matthew wrote you will know them by their fruit.

    Agreed. If a person says one thing, like "I'm a Christian" but then does the opposite of what being Christian means, then that's a non sequitur. Something is wrong. Are they lying? Stupid? Mentally unbalanced? There's always a causal factor in such irrational behavior.

    I suppose you think the church needs enlightenment from atheists as to doctrine......

    Ask yourself why God would allow a disease that causes religious faith to be painful?

    Go ahead and demand freedom from the WOKE Religion and then watch how you are destroyed for your lack of obedience.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
