There is no freedom of religion unless one also has the right to freedom from religion.
Freedom from religion is censoring religion. But the only religion I see being censored is Christianity. Freedom of religion is the only freedom about religion our constitution mentions. We have to listen to your four letter words so you should have the courtesy of listening to "Merry Christmas."
So God only "saves" people when they worship him? Some kind of God that doesn't do things out of the kindness of his heart. He seems like a selfish person actually.
Hmm, I respectfully disagree with you.
I believe we will live in eternity with many people who did not have the opportunity to believe in Jesus, but whose hearts were open to God. They will be there by the grace of God and because Jesus died for them too, just as we will. They responded to the light they were given, and that is what God was seeking. This is a wonderful doctrine!
(The above would be my interpretation of the bible anyway.) I believe in afterlife, and I think God is truly universal. Do I believe in Heaven and hell? not necessarily, but that is another topic.
No prayer in school. Remove the Ten Commandments from public grounds, even though it is a beautiful message and a formula to live a good life. Attack the Christian family, remove the christian male as the head of the family.
They have created a huge vacuum of spirituality in this nation and opened the door to evil.
The nation needs to repent, go back to church. Stop abortion, gay marriage.
We have to get back to our core values and stop listening to liberals full of hate for everything that is right and good
What has happened in America is that everyone is allowed to do their thing except Christians. Christianity is being censored. When a Christian cannot say "Merry Christmas" without being fired from their job that is censorship. Our ancestors put the freedom of religion in our constitution so everyone could be free to practice their religion but it has been wrongly changed to freedom from religion by the PC crowd thus everybody except Christians are free to practice their religion.
When Christians "doing their thing" means forcing their beliefs down the throats of non-believers by rule of law, then yes, Christians aren't allowed to do their thing. It would be the same if any other religion wanted to enshrine their holy book into law and force everyone to live by it. I know you will bring up Islam, but all the Left supports in this country is Muslims being allowed to practice their faith, which conservatives want to take away from them. I have never heard a rational liberal support the radical Islamic states that exist in the Middle East. Some may do but I haven't heard it.
And when was the last time somebody was fired for saying Merry Christmas? I did a quick Google search and found there was a claim back in 2009 but if it does happen its an extremely rare thing. If it was as common as conservatives claim, there would be a lot more instances of it. Fundamentalists claim "War on Christmas" but when Christmas decorations are everywhere for two months out of the year and they seem to go out earlier and earlier every year, Christmas is winning. What is it you really want? The CEO of Starbucks to get a life prison sentence for daring to take the snowflakes off their cup this year because YOU are offended by it?
Lay off the Fox News and come into the real world.

Why do you worship a god that required a blood sacrifice (from himself?) to earn his forgiveness for mankind?
How many people want and demand we put prayer back in the public schools? Enough said.
I don't want it in the schools, but as long as you make allowances and provide accommodations like prayer rooms in the schools for Muslims, what do think will happen? Enough said.
