I am not currently possessed of civil office and if I was - I would not use that authority to inform men of their duty to the Creator.

Does being employed or involved with the government forfeit your right to express your religious views?

The fundamental problem you have selling your interpretation of the First Amendment is that you cannot explain where government derives any authority over men's duty to their Creator.

You are the one denying people the right to express their views.

You have no moral argument for government authority over men's duties to their Creator because there is none.

You are the one with no moral argument, because you conveniently forget half of the first Amendment. Your argument is shallow because you are the one giving authority to the government to suppress free exercise of religion. You are a liar in how you present your views. You call people satan worshipers, but yet you proclaim no religion. You are most likely an atheist who has no interest in protecting religious speech. Your only interest is to shut religous people up using the power of the government. You are a liberal and a fraud. Sorry to be redundant.

Your whole concept of religious liberty revolves around government officials having the authority to pass out religious advice. Why?

I pray that the Great Liberator shall free your mind from the influence of the Devil that you might gather in the gentle light that enables good men to see the difference between expressing religious views and issuing advice on them without God's permission.

The government has no right to the free exercise of religion because religion is the duty that every individual man (not a group of men or a government) owes to the Creator.


The duty the government owes God is to protect the right of every man to obey his conscience; stay the hell out of his jurisdiction; and advise men of their duty to obey their conscience and convictions.


The duty of a government officer is to set an example for the people by obeying his conscience and informing the people to do the same.

OK Dude – Show me a well-documented case of separation where people who contract with the government lose their religious freedom.
