No one is being forced to attend Church, or to worship God, or to cross themselves from left to right instead of from right to left, or to fast on Fridays, or to refrain from eating shellfish. These are simply the customs and usages of religion, not religious morality.

To: Cultural Jihad
You are trying to force others to live by your version of morality. You have described it as religion-based. You are welcome to prostelytize that all you want, but we are talking about the use of government power to imprison people and fortunately the government is prohibited from taking your side. That is a relief to the rest of the citizens that oppose jihadists such as yourself.

Your whole view of "jailing them with kindness" to have your vesrion of a moral society is anathema to freedom. This last point is why you have been, are, and apparently will continue to be wrong. You have your values reversed when it comes to your expectations of the role of government.

Whoever thought up the term "tyranny of the majority" must have been reading your posts.
