13. The words "Religious" and "Liberty"...

Sat Jun 27, 2026, 08:59 AM

... should never appear in the same sentence. Religious dogma is antithetical to the very concept of "Liberty". This whole sick circus is intended to expand restrictions on personal liberty. The only liberty afforded to anyone is the liberty for religious fanatics to deny the liberty of those who choose not to follow their perverted edicts.

America's forefathers were adamant and vociferous in their denial of any religious test for office (Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution)

H.L. Mencken is reputed to have said, "Religion is the greatest fomenter of hatred and intolerance in the history of humanity", or words to that effect. Regardless of debates about attribution, the basic fact of the statement is historically irrefutable.
