Obama tried to do a similar thing when he was a State senator. He thinks of himself as a constitutional scholar; that is, he thinks he is better than the Founding Fathers and has wisdom about how to change the Constitution.

He started using the lingo "all men are born equal" instead of "all men are created equal" to justify his abortion stance.

While the president may be a learn on the job novice when it comes to being an executive politician, I believe the guy is an experienced talker who picks his words carefully.

Freedom of worship means that you can hold services inside of a building tha the government allows to be used for that purpose. Ok for a Cathedral or for a rented stadium, but not for any “public” building like a school auditorium or school stadium.

All good points! It also occurred to me he may be setting us up for mini mosques inside public buildings like airports for daily worship.

Worship is a government-restricted privilege.

Religion is a right.

Freedom of worship is the same as freedom to pay taxes.

I just mentioned this to hubby and he mentioned that under Hitler, people were allowed “freedom of worship” but not freedom of religion. Scary that he is using those same words.

You are free to worship as you wish in private, for now, except for those Christians who’ve been ordered to stop holding church services in their home.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… – US Constitution
_________________________________________

If that ever changes to

Congress shall make law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… – US Constitution

We know which religion will become the state religion...

and which one will be prohibited...

Under the New American Worship Act (NAWA) all churchs will be nationalized. All Americans will be allowed to join any of the five major “Worship Brands” that result. All Worship Brands will continue with their unique cultural traditions, while at the same time uniting in an ecumenical and cross cultural addition of worship of Our Lord, the Deified leader, Perfect Master Barrack Obama.

>> Some in the State Department argue the words “religion” and “worship” can be used interchangeably and there is nothing to worry about.

Nonsense.

Worship is ambiguous whereas Religion is not. Worship could be interpreted as an action.

>> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… – US Constitution

One does not establish worship!
