That's debatable.

Again, learn to live and let live. If you ain't married to one of 'em and you don't live with one of 'em its really none of your friggin' business what they believe or how they live their lives.

How does one "accept" someone else's religion?

Is it that hard to understand? I think all religions are bunk.

Ok.

How does that correspond with you accepting any of them? NEWSFLASH: It isn't up to you or anyone else to ACCEPT anyone else's belief system. But I will defend anyone's right to believe and worship as they see fit. I don't need to ACCEPT anything.

Your post made no sense at all.

Liberals try to do exactly the same thing everyday.

Equal rights do not erode your rights.

You people need to get that through your skulls. Just because Joe and Marty are legally married doesn't mean Joe and Sally's marriage is suddenly less valid. Get over yourselves. Again, live and let live.

I don't care what anyone else believes in regards to religion, but when anyone tries to force their religious beliefs through the laws of this country we have a problem. Live your life as you choose, but allow me to do the same and we have no problem.

Of the Muslims I know personally none have advocated for laws that would deny me the same rights they have. Of the Conservatives I know, some have strongly advocated to deny me those same rights.

It is my business when they are attempting to insert their dogma into our laws. What they do in their own lives is fine, as long as they keep it there.
