Freedom of Religion?

While the bible is the biggest hoax of all time, it makes abundantly clear, in more than a few places, that homosexuals are not allowed in heaven. The bible had been in print for some 1400 years at the time our country's founders sought to fully protect religious rights.

It seems to me there is a pretty obvious conflict on this issue as to whose rights trump the rights of others. Does the church have a right to practice its belief that homosexuality is a sin and that homosexuals are barred from entry into heaven? Or do homosexuals have a right to crash the party and take Yahwee and Heaven, Inc. to court for discrimination ?

Opinions may vary, and I recognize it'd be a tough call to make, but I'd probably lean toward the idea the religious nut cases were there first, and the gay nut cases have no right to rewrite the bible.

I'm sorry, but the Constitution doesn't give me the right to hangout in women 's restrooms.

If homosexuals want to start their own church, more power to them. The description of Jesus, according to the mythology, paints a picture of someone most folks would assume was gay. They're welcome to write their own bible and may embellish the parts where JC wandered about town with boys in dresses as they see fit. That's their right.

What they don't have a right to do is infringe on the religious beliefs of others, no matter how misguided, absurd, or reprehensible.

In light of the well documented perversions of the Catholic church, shining some light in dark corners may be justified. At the same time, using what comes to light for the purpose of blackmail is a felony and should be treated as such.

As far as the Catholic League is concerned, I'd have to fall back on one of my folks favorite sayings, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.".
