You choose to be offended by the religious expression of others. No offense is intended, so it is your choice...you wish to move through our society untouched by the beliefs of others. That is not realistic. Your intolerance toward the religious beliefs of others is insulting to me. I spent a good part of my adult life maintaining these freedoms for Americans, you included. There are those who participate in this forum that have shed blood and lost limbs n the defense of these freedoms. I see your attitude as nothing less than callous disrespect, akin to spitting on us. As the son of a man who fought in three wars to defend this country and the rights that you seem to selectively enjoy, as the descendant of men who fought to establish these rights, my feeling is that you would piss on the graves of these men. I am that deeply offended.
You seem to rant and recant. That is a privilege of living in this society. It does not lend credibility to your position(s), but c'est le guerre. You are a consumer of freedoms provided by others. And, I might add, you are at leisure to enjoy all the freedoms of being an American and still practice a religion mired in the Sixth Century. You can pick your rights and beliefs, ala carte. It is the American way.
You do not seem to be unlike my ex-wife, who converted to Buddhism, became a vegetarian and renounced violence, war, militarism and all who practice those endeavors...she also renounced materialism...she did not renounce the 43% of my military pension she is "entitled" to, nor did she move out of the $400K house we lived in...ain't American great?
