Ow, my neck.




Ever seen synchronized auto-felatio?

Yes Sleepyjeff! Keep nudging your thoughts in this direction. Because Freedom OF Religion and Freedom FROM Religion are MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE, in fact they are pretty much the exact same thing and they are both necessary! We must be certain that both are guaranteed.

I've never understood those who separate the two, and who, on occasion, tell me that my freedom FROM religion is not included. Really? I thought that personal beliefs were supposed to come from one's deepest moral, intellectual and spiritual convictions. You just can't mandate that one way or the other. In my case, earnest inquiry has led me to conclude that there aren't any gods or skyhooks, and I treasure my right not to participate in the celebration of same. (And no, I don't accept that atheism is a religion. To say it is makes the word religion pretty much meaningless. Though, if it IS a religion, I guess it's protected, eh?)

I couldn't be happier that such a mind-boggling array of churches and sects flourish in this country, and I'm not in the least bothered when politicians allow their own faiths to guide their decisions. I am free to disagree when necessary. As long as they leave the establishment clause alone. That is sacred sacred sacred!

Treaty of Tripoli, written in 1796. Read before, and unanimously ratified by, the Senate in 1797. Signed by President John Adams and proclaimed publicly to the nation.

Article 11 of same (emphasis mine):

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
