2. that's where the problem is. her religious rights should NOT take precedence over another |
|
person's rights. period. which religious rights should then? because there are a lot of religions out there. no. religion has no place in government, and government's job should be to protect us from each other.... so we can all have our own beliefs and not trample all over everyone else.

4. Did she clarify why her rights are more important? |
|
Or is it just ANY religious rights that take precedence? If so, how does she work it out when two religions jockey for position, one set of beliefs against another? Whose rights win out?

The Church-State wall has had so many holes poked in it that it's no longer much of a wall at all. Fundies even denounce the idea that there IS such a wall. I've long since argued that passing laws based on the basis of one person/group's religious beliefs should be considered an infringement of the 1st Amendment rights of other people whose religious (or other) beliefs inform them otherwise.

9. Holy crow! They believe in a fairy tale |
|
and want preferential treatment because of it! I guess they're delusional in more ways than one.

11. She can feel that way |
|
but legally she is wrong. Or at least should be wrong based on the law.
