Any Law ever made is somone forcing their beliefs on you why is religion any different?

Because, ideally we elected our representatives to do our bidding, to REPRESENT us. Hence, we essentially chose the people who make the laws. So our representatives have us, their constituents in mind when making the laws. If they make a law we dont believe in, either we bitch like crazy, or we accept it cuz, hey, we put him in office, right?

Put religion into the mix, and it cuts out the people. No longer is it "for the people" and whats, hopefully, in their best interest, but instead is making decisions based on what a religion and its belief systems says should be done and practiced.

 


There will always be the people that dint agree tho. They are still getting somone else belief forced apon them.

I agree with you that we run on a majority rule system. I never said only religious people are allowed in politics. I only said that they shouldnt be excluded because then all the religious people who want somone to represent them dont get represented. I am not tryin to cut out people you are. That is where your confused. Never said religious only, just allow their to be religion dont exclude it.


 I dont have a problem with religious people having someone represent them. thats fine, and it does happen all the time.  hell, their political lobbies out their that are religious lobbies.  What im saying is when we start making laws with religion being the sole or even the major reason behind it, thats what i think needs to stay out of our government.  Essentially, the "because of religion" defense needs to stay out. 

The day congress passes a law with wording like "for a better christian nation" or puts reasoning behind it because its the "proper christian thing to do" or anything in those lines (by the way, im using christianity as an example, it could be islam or judaism for all i care), will be the day you see my ass start firebombing federal buildings.....

well, ok, i wont actually be firebombing federal buildings, but you get my drift, id be fuckin pissed, hahaha.
