So little time and so little to do.

The 4th amendment is narrow:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
There is no established federal religion; I'm almost certain there are no established state religions (maybe there is an obscure law on the books somewhere that amounts to one?) for Congress to try to disestablish. Other than that, Congress is restrained from prohibiting the free exercise of religion, but not from accommodating it. I'd expect to see more accommodation (public monuments, open expression, etc) rather than less, of all religions that care to assert a public presence.
It sure is easy to become oppressive while claiming to fight oppression.
Push too hard against peoples' freedoms to express their cultural quiffs - particularly among enclaves of themselves - and they will push back (as we have seen). On this point, I don't mean to argue that it is right or required to yield, only that it is practical. It was stupid to drive evangelicals into Trump's camp, but Democrats were - and still are - determined to leave no refuge for religion anywhere in public life.
Sec. 4. RELIGIOUS TESTS. No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.
Zackly - just like all those yellow vest convoy participants not too long ago. I don't recall many people asking about their leave or job status during the protest.Blackadder1916 said:They probably budget their time for what they think is important, in likely much the same way as people who spend a lot of time on this forum. :
Brad Sallows said:>Equal time for Sharia law in the US? What about Mormon polygamy?
If by sharia law you mean more than just a mechanism for resolving civil disputes (similar to the issue that came up in Ontario a while back), I suppose it would conflict too much with constitutional law and very little would remain after scrubbing it down.
Brad Sallows said:Regarding the latter, polymarriage should have the same status as SSM or any other marriage. SSM proponents made the case on freedom to love whom one pleases and on expression of sexuality; that should apply equally to all subject only to the hard stops on things like age of consent.
Brad Sallows said:>provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.
Some might choose to interpret that as "establishment of religion", even if it is not establishment of a particular religion. Texas is still just a state, though, not the federal Congress.
Of all the potential targets for propaganda, children are the most vulnerable because they are the least prepared with the critical reasoning and contextual comprehension they need to determine whether a message is propaganda or not. The attention children give their environment during development, due to the process of developing their understanding of the world, causes them to absorb propaganda indiscriminately.

Why most women benefit from polygamy and most men benefit from monogamy

George Bernard Shaw observed, “The maternal instinct leads a woman to prefer a tenth share in a first rate man to the exclusive possession of a third rate one.”
Or, as the comedian Bill Maher asked his panel on his TV show Politically Incorrect on January 7, 1998, “Would you rather be the second or third wife of Mel Gibson or the only wife of Willard Scott?”, to which one of the panelists, the conservative commentator and activist Susan Carpenter McMillan, responded, “If it comes to Mel Gibson, I wouldn’t care if I was one, two, or three.” Of course, this was back when Mel Gibson was highly desirable. Substitute Matt Damon for Mel Gibson. The cast of characters changes in a decade, but the principle remains the same.
For sure, and nothing wrong with either as long as it's all clean & civil. It's just that I've seen others on social mediaJarnhamar said:Maybe people felt supporting the oil and gas industry was more significant than people protesting a chicken joint who's owners subscribe to the no same sex stuff from the Bible.

questioning the employment/leave status of one kind of protester while they protest without asking the same questions of other kinds.

That's too harsh - if you get it and say it out loud, that's doing way better than some who don't get it.Jarnhamar said:I'm being a hypocrite if I look at it.

There was one in Calgary a few years back, but it went out of business; I guess Albertans know enough about 10w30 oil not to want it on their food.Jarnhamar said:I had no idea they were coming to or in Canada before I read this.
