| Message | Well, we never would have guessed in a million years the Christian Universalist Party would vote no! It's only in the name! But please, we invite you to explain and rationalize the validity of your statement: "Freedom of religion is a fundamental right." "This [i]nfrings on the freedom of the people to worship however and whoever they want." Well, sort of the right to worship...period. But, out of curiosity of what sort of arguments we will hear, why does Indrala need religion? Why does it need freedom to worship? |
