FREEDOM OF RELIGION!!

[gwano]

Why is it this way?

It doesn't seem right that if you practice or believe in some form of religion, whether it be Islam, Buddism, christianity or whatever, you are accepted by most christians or other faiths.

If you chose to be an athiest or agnostic, you don't seem to be accepted as an equal by the "believers".

So, to solve this "peculiarity of mankind", I choose to pray to "CROM" the god of steel, Like Conan the barbarian.

Now I don't have to worry about being discriminated against. I have taken the pressure off the "believers" who no longer have to intimidate me by giving me bulls*#t free propaganda to convert me to their ways.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

At least in the USA, our constituion enumerates limitations on Congress with regard to religion.

It does not prohibit me hating you because of your religious belief (or lack therof)  I am not Congress, I am a private citizen and my private prejudices (prejudii?) are private.

I didn't say anything about congress!
I said "believers" like you are biased against "non-believers"
you just made my point.
thank you Holden.

In case you didn't read the entire post though, I'm now a "believer" just like you.
I pray to CROM.

Show me where I said I was a believer. (I am not)

I was showing you that the USA's freedom of religion is based on the government not having an official religion, thereby allowing me to freely worship (or not) with no worry of jailtime.

Looks like you need to look at your own beliefs and tolerance of others.

Would you like some free pamphlets extolling the glory of CROM?
It will help you become less bitter.
I can have some followers deliver it right to your door.

well i am a believer and i don't have ANY issues with you and  those that don't believe, its not up to me its up to you, Free will is a wonderfull thing!!

 now as far as crom goes i have been reading Conan since i was 12 years old,(1982) and yes i still read them even though i love Yahaveh,
i think Robert E Howard was an amazing writer, and his stuff stands up today to anyones!(sad, he took his own life)
i have 52 Conan books in my library, plus alot of other REH stuff , that guy was awesome!!!

Oh, CROM doesn't believe in raping children and/or poligamy as some of the other faiths do or at least acknowledge it on a large scale. (but you can go to confession and make it all better regardless of the atrocity)

Our faith does condone playing aces high in our underwear with a half a can of old milwaukee between our legs.(oh what a visual that is)

I have no problem with other people and their beliefs as long as they don't expect me to agree with it. I do have a problem with any person using religion or religious beliefs to do immoral or illegal things.

You don't have to be a "believer" to have morals. Many "believers" have no morals, however most are good people and do lead exemplary lives.

My statement shows no bitterness, it does not say I hate you. It just identifies my understanding that I am free to hate you based on religious belief (or lack thereof)

"What is good Conan?"
"Defeat your enemies, have them driven before you and hear the lamentation of the women."

It seems those who follow Crom are not the most tolerant either.  I suggest you engage in a bit of introspection.

Hmm . . . pardon me for saying, but it seems to me that, more and more, atheism is the "religion" that is both being pushed down people's throats and is highly intolerant of other religions.  For instance . . .

It seems a lot of atheists take their "religion" very seriously, and try very hard to "convert" those of other faiths to their side.  Not that there is anything wrong with that . . . except for the fairly obvious double-standard when they claim they want no one else's religion shoved down their throats.
