Giving a little power to a religious wacko is a dangerous deed. That people voted this loonytunes into office is scary.

Thats why I'm glad we don't elect judges. Politicizing those positions can be extremely dangerous.

I doubt there was a thriving Islamic or Buddhist community in 18th Century America.

18th century America no longer exists. 21st century America is what matters now.

So when Islam spread, a lot of people had that religion shoved up their arses.

As opposed to Christianity being "shoved up the arses" of the pagans, including those in early Britain...

History, Blackleaf; learn some and preferably not the biased, romanticized BS of the church.

An old native guy once said to me, White men should go back to their own religion."
I said, "Which religion is that?"
He said, "Christianity."
I said Christianity is a brown man's religion. White man's religion is the old Celtic religion, which is very similar to the aboriginal peoples religion."
He had no comeback.

Christianity is an olive religion. Thor, Woden, Tiw and so on, are redheads and freckled.

I see no one thinks their Gawd can turn lead into gold. All their gawds reached Nirvana, I guess.

The only reason the Muslims came to America was to put up a Mosque at
ground zero

And the only reasons the Boodists came was to build our railroads, do our laundry, and run restaurants ; those bastards! If we were prepared to pay living wages we would have done these jobs ourselves. We should have sent them all home after we were clean, fed, and travelling first class.

Yellow, brownish, and black Gawds are the worst. We got rid of the red Gawds in residential schools, so no worries there.

He was probably too busy backing away slowly from yet another crazy-a$$ Shemanese. We learned a long time a go that when y'all start saying stupid, obviously counter-factual things, it goes downhill really fast.

It's time for me to start using my favourite phrase: Point out what it was that I said that was wrong.

The First Amendment says nothing at all about Christianity. It forbids establishment of religion and protects free exercise.

Buddha didn't create America, Christians did. The First Amendment applies to Christianity, not to Buddha and Mohammed. When the First Amendment was drawn up, Buddhism and Islam were not on its creator's minds. Only Christianity was.


We put that in specifically to differentiate the United States from the tyranny and oppression of the Church of England.

Yeah, of course you did. Still, half of all Yanks remain gloriously Protestant anyway, free from the shackles of Popish tyranny.

I say this by way of explanation. Your opinion on the U.S. Constitution ain't worth a plugged nickel.

I'm one of the few people on here talking any sense rather than talking complete and utter PC pigswill.

Every aboriginal culture in the world has a creator gawd

And their "creator gods" don't exist. Only the Christian god exists. There is only ONE god. The Christian god. There is no Quetzalcoatl, or Thor, or a Hindu elephant god. There is only the Christian god.

And, yes, Allah is a creator gawd.

Only if "Allah" is the only god that actually exists - the Christian God - and not some separate fictional entity.

He probably went down the pub telling his mates all about this weirdo that he met who thinks Christianity is "a brown man's religion" and having a right good laugh.

My Dearest Spade,

Lead is turned into gold on a daily basis through the miracle of opposable thumbs.... A lead pipe or tire iron across the glass of a display case is the solution you seek.

... So, where does that leave us with your grand suggestion?

God is perfectly capable of turning lead into gold. After all, he once turned Adam's rib into the first woman and a staff into a serpent.

So what? Even assuming arguendo that's true, the First Amendment by its terms applies to "religion." And the Supreme Court, in its Constitutional function to interpret the Constitution, has deemed that to apply to all religions. Justice Moore doesn't get a vote. Neither does some random English BNPer with delusions of adequacy.

Allah is the god of Moses. You didn't even know that?

How nice of the Supreme Court to ignore the true meaning of the First Amendment and to give it an artifical, false meaning to suit its PC Christianophobic agenda. It's a sign of the times.

Whatever the Supreme Court says (and we know how the modern, PC, wishy-washy, liberal, woolly-minded lawyers don't like talking about God), the First Amendment is meant to only apply to Christians. You and your nutty friends at the Supreme Court can spin it however much you like - the fact is that the FIRST AMENDMENT APPLIES TO CHRISTIANITY ONLY. There were no Buddhists or Muslims in 18th century America are there are almost none now.

Neither does some random English BNPer with delusions of adequacy.

An "English BNPer" (me and my family haven't voted for BNP since Griffin became its leader. Get rid of him and bring in a genuine, intelligent leader who can better show up the liberals on BBC's Question Time and I may think about it again, but my heart is with UKIP at the moment) who is about the only one round here saying it as it is.

Only the Christian god exists. Allah can only exist only if he is the one and the same as the real God - and that's debateable.

OK, I can accept that. The First Amendment applies only to Christianity, in the mind of someone who doesn't live under the First Amendment, doesn't have the education to understand it, and don't get a vote nohow.

An "English BNPer" (me and my family haven't voted for BNP since Griffin became its leader. Get rid of him and bring in a genuine, intelligent leader who can better show up the liberals on BBC's Question Time and I may think about it again, but my heart is with UKIP at the moment) who is about the only one round here saying it as it is.
You were talking about the UKIP and BNP just a couple of days ago. And anybody who thinks the UKIP is anything but the BNP cleaned up for public presentation is delusional.

But we already knew that.

Only the Christian god exists. Allah can only exist only if he is the one and the same as the real God - and that's debateable.
Allah is. The Qu'ran is just a new revelation of the god of Moses, just like the New Testament. "Allah" is just Arabic for "god."

That you don't even know this is. . . well, not really a surprise, is it?

Enough. Go talk to somebody that cares about your hysterical delusions.

Awwww, don't quit now! Seeing what he was coming up with to pass off as 'argument' was really, really amusing for me.
He wants to continue to show his utter ignorance of law, British or American, fine by me. I'm not interested in his Big Sky Daddy.

Well nobody's really interested in what he has to say. But at times, from certain angles, it's a fascinating case study in absolute narcissism.

Because you know, it's not just his opinion.......

......IT IS A FACT.

Are you prepared as a rep of the Church of England (aka Anglican, aka Episcopal, aka Anglo Catholic ) to put 'er to the test?

Prety much everything after the first sentence.
What makes you think your gawd is anymore real than everyone elses?
