Oh, Lord! "The First Amendment protects only the practice of the Christian faith."

Nutcase alert-
SB 1062 should never have had to be written
Posted on February 24, 2014 by Glen (online)

The First Amendment protects only the practice of the Christian faith.

The Arizona Republic gathered the twenty, or so, protestors against S.B. 1062 close together for a photo to place on the front cover of their Thursday edition. The gathering together is an attempt to show that thousands of protestors came to their demonstration.

In the center of the photo they placed a guy who just happens to be able to afford the tab-collar clergy shirt with a sign about how religions should be against this legislation. I am not sure from which Internet “U” this person obtained his certification, but they certainly had no requirement to read the Bible.

The “columnists” at the Republic are in full swing typing out their indignation at the “discrimination.”

Of course, when you are dealing with a group of people who get their Constitutional training from the Salon and Russia Today web sites, it is difficult for them to understand that this legislation should never have been written. You see, there is already a law that protects the right of those of the Christian faith to not serve those who are clearly abhorrent to that faith.

It’s called the First Amendment.

9. Two good counter arguments

First:

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion ...

From the Treaty Of Triopli, 1796

Second:

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor

Exodus 20:16 16

Scholars have spent decades, centuries even, trying to understand this passage from the holy book, and the consensus is that it means don't lie and make shit up.

because "everyone knew that's what they meant".


The First Amendment was meant only to protect the Christian faith. When the founders spoke of religion, they meant the Christian religion. They did not have to keep saying the Christian religion because everyone knew that is what they were talking about.
