| Message | ADAMANTLY opposed. How can you call yourself a "libertarian" and be against people freely promoting their faith so as long as they are CIVILLY RESPECTFUL??? In fact, this law will persecuted MILITANT ATHEISTS b/c "militant atheism" and/or humanism is considered to be recognized as a RELIGION as it is a philosophy like Christianity really is. Therefore, the President of Rutania [Philip Balfour] can be ARRESTED for passing out pamphlets refuting the existence of God through reason and logic. What is it people, must we continue to persecute one another??? Why can't we all......just get along??? |
