Nope, never was in the first place - I'll be supporting Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson ... for what its worth.

When asked "You're on the torture rack, they're going to kill you, who are you going to vote for? Mitt Romney, or Barack Obama?"

"Look, I've climbed Mount Everest. I know how to do what it takes. Take this to the bank: I would rather die.'" - Gary Johnson

I'm sorry, I just posted in another thread covering a similar argument, but when I saw this I decided I must reply. What's next, we can't criticize a movie because the director's feelings may get hurt? Criticism may seem impracticable, but it does have it's uses. Criticizing religion, movies, artwork, Employee (Or coworker's) job performance allows for deeper conversation on whatever subject is being spoke of to be brought up, possibly changing someone's mind on something in their life, allowing for positive change in the workplace through constructive criticism, helping a potential movie goer choose a film that may better suite them, etc.

Come on, how can our very own Department of Justice not be able to ensure with 100% support that Freedom of Speech will be protected under our constitution, no matter who's panties get in a bunch. Would this not, if not even in a loophole, fall under the "Separation of Church and State"?

When it come's to a man's (or woman's of course) choice to follow (or not follow) a certain religion, the government needs to stay out of it.... COMPLETELY. I mean, how hard is it guys, if the topic includes anything religious, it should be dropped from the court completely. Leave it alone.

And they (followers of a certain religion) need to stay out of government.

COMPLETELY.

While that would be ideal, unfortunately we (As American's) cannot discriminate against anyone based on their religion, sex, race, or sexual orientation. So that wouldn't work, however, they do need to quit trying to sneak in their religious ideologies into government.

Religion is a chosen belief.

Gender - - race - - sexual orientation are not.
