I reject the entire premise that democrats “tolerate” or choose to stomach my free exercise of religion. When I exercise a God-given right it isn't at the sufferance of the Left. I don't care if they don't like it.
We don't need permission or forbearance to exercise religious freedom anymore than to exercise freedom of speech and press.
By acknowledging their premise, that they endure religion even though it p!sses them off, we are setting ourselves up fast for similar treatment of our other rights.
Allowing them the power to tolerate or not religious freedom is to open a door to consideration of tolerating our other rights, like speech and press here at FreeRepublic.
The Left are pros at building on their past outrages. Give them an inch here and they are sure to further assault and shut down the voice of conservatives.
Are you sure about that it is a disservice to religious freedom to use the word “tolerant” in that the left use it to frame the debate?
We do a disservice to religious freedom using the word “tolerant” and its variations. To do so lets the Left frame the debate.
Exactly right!!
Political Correctness was developed by the Communists after the Russian Revolution to CONTROL THE NARRATIVE.
