[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to learn to be ok with being offended. It’s ok that it was there. It’s not telling you that you have to believe. [/quote]

No, we don’t. We can point out things that are fundamentally wrong.

It’s not ok that it was there.

You don't have a right not to be offended.

We are a country of free speech and freedom of religion.[/quote]

I love all the constitutional scholars who have no idea what the constitution actually says.[/quote]

Yes.

Thos who want to restrict speech, who think the constitution guarantees a right to not have their feelings hurt, and who think the constitution syas anything about  separation of church and state" probably need to take some time to actually read the constitution. [/quote]

They also forget that the whole reason there isn't an establishment of religion at the federal level, is that the various states had different established churches.  [/quote]

Not really. The same guy who wrote the Establishment Clause also wrote the Memorial and Remonstrance[/quote]

You sure? While most southern states had ended their established churches by 1790, which were mostly Episcopal, New Hampshire kept its establishment until 1817; Connecticut kept its establishment until 1818; and Massachusetts did not abandon its state support for Congregationalism until 1833.
