If you can only pick one would it be religous rights or human rights and why?

so are you awake now?

I guess the publishing of them is quite the production and quite the building where it is done

I'm open minded. The articles are well written and aren't very preachy. Far less pushy than atheists.

human rights is by far more important, but it should contain religious rights,

to include all, and within the 'all', those wanting to do harm to others would be

dealt with by the law, and it seems that is the way things are now.

many religious rights would leave out certain types, which is fine for them, but
leaves out others they do not want included, which human rights would not.

Personally I'd go for the human rights - I think concern for one's fellow man is #1. Religious rights are good but don't go stomping on people's throats to get them! L.O.L.

Winning agruments should only be cited once.
For some people arguing is all about winning. There is no such thing as winning an argument. Nobody is going to change their perspective to suit anybody else. We can present our opinions on a subject and the other theirs. It is call discussion. It is always interesting to know what and how others think. But arguing is a complete waste of time and the outcome is always one of animosity.

Hmm, I don't know about that. After a certain point, when points of view are so diametrically opposed you can't really call it a discussion anymore. It is an argument. But I've had great arguments. The key is not to have them in anger. Leave out the anger but bring the passion and intensity, it is anything but a waste of time. You can discover so much more about yourself and your attachment to your position when you really release your passion on a topic.

Now having said that, I don't believe they can be had here. Way too many hotheads.

This is why they have attempted separation of church and state. Religious freedom should not interfere with the operation of the state.The problem is religions whose basic tenets require them to proselytize and push their beliefs.
How many times have we heard complaints about prayer being taken out of school?
At least non theists don't bother anyone or ask for money(at least in my experience).

Yes people should be free to practice their religion however they should not
be granted special exemptions from the laws of the land or be allowed to in
fact discriminate against others in a secular society




Could you answer the following?


How far are you willing to go with taking the rights away from those with certain religious convictions? Are you wanting to force the Catholic Church to preform SSM marriages? Force Christian educational institutes to teach and allow things that are against their faith?



Identification is one thing, belief is another, and church attendance (appox. 17%) a third.


.




How often you attend Church has nothing to do with your faith.

i've never ever had an atheist knock on my door, or send pamphlets, or ring bells on sunday to remind us
we are suppose to be there,or a neighbour wondering why we don't go to church, but from the religious all of the above.

Don't have to look too far on this forum to see those who are a pedlin'.

So Christianity is all right as long as they are perfectly quiet and don't ring any bells?
