Not yours, not mine, not that Satanist guy over there, or that Muslim lady down that way. Understanding that this is what was intended by the 1st Amendment has nothing to do with being offended, which I am not.
    The first amendment has everything to do with this. You said you don't want people trying to convert others etc etc. I can only conclude that you are against religious freedom.

    So talk to yourself.. Others don't want to hear about world wide floods and Jonah living inside a fish for 3 days.

    And others don't have to listen. But you cannot stop people from practicing their religion. Much to your chagrin, I'm sure.

    Practice your religion, but don't show up on my porch. I'll have you arrested for trespass and solicitation.

    I don't want them trying to convert *me*. Most ppl feel the same. Religious freedom doesn't give you the right to knock on ppl's doors, invade their privacy, tell them they're going to hell if they don't follow your religion, or otherwise harass them. It merely gives them the right to worship as they please. Worship and evangelizing are not synonymous.

    Once again, practicing your religion/worshiping your god is not the same as invading other ppl's privacy to share what you believe, or to preach to your classroom if you're a public school teacher, or to insist that your city council pray to your god before meetings.

    I won't ever show up on your porch at 7 AM or sue you for saving the life of a young mother bleeding out in an emergency room after a due drop in delivery.
