Not true at all. I cannot be on this forum 24/7. I reply back when I have time and it’s usually within 24 hrs.

About 25% of the world’s countries and territories has anti-blasphemy law, including several Western nations.

If you cannot discriminate anyone against race, religion, etc. we shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate against religion (Christianity) either. Majority religion should be respected in America.

Prior to independence some American colonies had anti-blasphemy law.
Say it with me:

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

The constitution prevents you turning our nation into a theocracy. If you want a theocracy move to one.

Nopp I don’t change Christ’ word. I believe that anyone criticizing Christianity in a bad way should be put in jail, deported or fined depending on the situation/circumstance.

Doesn’t mention anything about my topic. Before independence some colonies had those laws, why not go back?

Those so called hardcore/evangelicals, do they behead people? Suicide bombers? Stone adulterous? Fly planes into buildings? Throw gays from rooftop buildings? Tax non-believers?

In a way, I welcome the OP’s demented posts. Because the replies demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of posters here DO understand and cherish the establishment clause.
Members on CD do not represent all Americans, and most members on this forum are secular and anti-Christians sadly and brainwashed. No wonder why so many evil things happening because the lack of religion and fear of God.

I want a government similar to many other Western countries, nothing wrong with that. Most countries don’t have Establishment Clause BS and are perfectly fine.

If you had an election, most people would vote to become officially a Christian nation. Go try!

I think most Americans would strenuously resist the idea that government should prosecute blasphemy. But then, I’ve noted before that you don’t like the First Amendment. Well, it’s an opinion. Not one I respect, but you have the right to hold it, whether anyone else likes it or not. Thanks to the First Amendment.
Then, again how long has extreme Christianity platforms who suggested that Islam~ "Sharia Law" " was taking over the USA?? It's like instant once BO took office ( as lies spread that BO was actually a Muslim)~~ SO NOW OP wants Blasphemy Law instituted so EXTREME Christianity can legally charge anyone who dares says anything negative about their EXTREME view points?? REDICulous.. not to mention a tiny portion of mainstream Christians actually follow what has been preached to the masses of Christians ALL ABOUT embracing/ Tolerance etc..etc!! Guess OP only wants to spread ideology of those few Extremists in order to get responses~~ I thinks it's actually obvious trolling in my mind!!
