Wow. This statement just ruined any and all credibility you may have had. Absolute moron.

Throughout history people have used religion to oppress others. Are you really that dense?

As well as race, economic status, political affiliation, gender, nationality... religion is no better and no worse.

Singling out religion as some big bad instead of just one more of the group is silly.

True, but religion really is worse than the others. History has proved it. Actually, political oppression might have it on religion.

Your original post was about the religious wanting to take away rights. I it's us religious folks complaining about having the ten commandments and Bibles and God in courtrooms/government?

No it hasn't. History has proven that terrible things are done in religions name among others. Calling one worse than the others is pure opinion.

I'm sorry but I see that as terribly wrong.

And the Judge's order was reversed.

On the same day that the church clarified its position.

I'm sure that's a coincidence.

It's also just one day after the order was announced and he received all kinds of negative publicity about it. Also a coincidence?

For what it's worth it doesn't look like he lives in Utah County to me.
