Let's do so -- but not according to the warped and unrecognizable idea of what "religious freedom" means that they're trying to sell us on --- instead a more *real* understanding of what "religious freedom" means.<br /><br />Let us pray and work for religious freedom --- but at the same time clarify to the Bishops that Religious Freedom does NOT mean the right to impose your religious beliefs on someone else. Rather, it means that nobody else has the right to impose THEIR religious beliefs on you --- and if you want that right of yours to be secure, you MUST learn to respect it with regard to others --- and stop whining about "religious persecution" whenever you're asked to do nothing more than refrain from persecuting *others* religiously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999890218345587283.post-34882631258850576252013-06-24T06:41:37.216-04:002013-06-24T06:41:37.216-04:00'Fortnight of rage' -- good description.
