Think about it: everybody is forced to think the exact same way and worship the same god. If you say anything blasphemous, or do anything that the "mob rule" disagrees with, you are judged without a trial and sentenced by physical mutilation and/or dismemberment in public to "send a message" or a "teach a lesson" to anyone who may be considering similar behavior. And in the very best of outcomes, STONING TO DEATH!. Oh, think of the fun!
Judging from the sarcasm in your opening statement, you don't really want an answer do you? You simply came here to troll to make a thread that cheezed people off enough to start arguing.
If you dont support it, then you oppose it, which makes the whole thread just ridiculous especially your "interesting point" comment ridiculing others for opposing something that you oppose yourself..

- You love the death penalty
- You support outlawing behavior that goes against your holy book (sodomy, gay marriage)
- You support violating constitutional rights without trial (PATRIOT act, Guantanamo, KSM trial)
- You support violating private property rights on the basis of religious belief (ground zero islamic cultural center)
- You support state-sponsored religion (prayer in schools, 10 commandments in courts, nativity scenes on municipal property)
Would our more left wing friends support the imposition of a communist regime on the United States? A nation where everyone is gray and the worship of any deity is punishable by exile to a labor camp in Northern Alaska.
How about making suppositions that actually have some basis in fact.
Is your point that unless we worship your god, we will fall prey to either Sharia law or communism?

anybody have any others?
They want to preserve the observance of religious holidays such as Christmas in public schools,, etc... Schools and public offices are closed on Christmas.
(Yet will not allow other faiths the same privilege.)
A better question to ask our more right-wing friends (I don't use the word "conservative" on purpose) whether or not they'd support the imposition of Christian or Biblical laws on the United States.
I dare say you'd get a more positive response, even though the outcome would be exactly the same as if it were Sharia.
By "Christain Laws" do you mean "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or "Love your neighbor as yourself"?
- You support outlawing behavior that goes against your holy book (sodomy, gay marriage)
Sodomy laws have been in the books for hundreds of years in this country. No one seems to care that these laws are not being enforced. As far as gay marriage goes: IMO, there is no such thing.

I support not giving foreigners American rights if that's what you mean.

No one has said a single word about not allowing this!

Where on Earth did you get the idea that Christianity was state sponsored?

You wanna see intolerance? See what happens when we say homosexuality is wrong.
Honestly...these strawman arguments are just idiotic.

I can't think of any political group that would be more opposed to a "communist regime" than liberals. Personally, I would think that it would be roughly the same as living under a Republican one party state.
It would be the death nail of art, literature, and free expression.
They want only "Creation" taught in public schools.
They also want to abolish any science that might be in direct conflict of their "Holy Book."
