I hate that this even requires explaining - Stewie Jun 4, 15:20 15
- That's complete bullshit. Me voting my religious beliefs doesn't keep someone else from taking part in the religion of their choice. -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 15:30 14
  - and the president acknowledging another religion doesn't impact yours in the slightest. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 15:46 5
    - When did I say it did? - Stephen Jun 4, 15:53 2
      - the implication was there when you got angry about the US not being a christian nation anymore. but since I seem to have misinterpreted, I apologize. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 15:57 1
        
        The "anger" if you want to call it that comes from the fact that I feel both statements were pandering. - Stephen Jun 4, 16:04

      - declaring himself a secret muslim. -- nm - mafic Jun 4, 15:51
  - and whatever religion has the most "votes" should decide the laws we live by? - Stewie Jun 4, 15:36 6
    - To the extent that in a democracy, if a majority agrees with something, then that's what we do? Then sure. - TFox Jun 4, 15:38 5
      - thats not democracy but majority dictatorship - Danedukenuuk Jun 4, 15:54
      - all true...but after you do that religious freedom in your country is diminished -- nm - Stewie Jun 4, 15:44
      - Majority doesn't always rule. We have a Constitution that specifically says so. - musubi Jun 4, 15:43
      - to the respect that said relgious beliefs impose on other's freedoms, that's *exactly* what your Constitution is for. -- nm - Reagen Jun 4, 15:41 1
