That DOES infringe on their religious freedom." Then I remembered that we only have religious freedom to the extent that it doesn't harm anyone else or get in the way of their civil whatnot and such. You know what I'm saying.<BR/><BR/>That sadly leads us to circuitous logic. If you assume that there is nothing wrong with being gay, then it is harassment to tell them they have to change and you can't let religious fundamentalists tell them otherwise. If you take the Christian position on homosexuality, then it's not injurious to tell a homosexual that they need to change their ways. Heck, you're helping them. If it's not injurious, the gov't can't get in the way of your religious freedom to do it.<BR/><BR/>All other things being equal, if the gov't needs to choose one position versus the other, if there exists any religion that does NOT hold the view taht homosexuality is wrong, then actively holding the view and making legal exceptions in this case is tantamount to a state religion and it not permitted by the Bill of Rights.<BR/><BR/>That's my majority opinion, bitches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
