112. Well, "their beliefs" . . . are imposed upon our society . . .
Edited on Sun Jul-20-08 10:55 AM by defendandprotect
Rather than looking at it as if "new groups are demanding their rights," why not look

it from the higher perspective, i.e., that organized patriarchal religions underpin

patriarchy which claims its superiority over everyone else . . . ???


Again -- the fight for birth control for everyone was largely a fight against these

religious/political influences on our government/society.


Many of the issues we continue to try to deal with ---

oppression of women and reproductive freedom -- intolerance for homosexuals --

are all issues which are taught by organized patriarchal religion.


"Their beliefs" effect all of us because of their attempts to influence government/society.

Their beliefs do harm to women... our aunts, sisters, daughters, mothers, wives --

Their beliefs do harm to families -- intolerance for gays being just one example of

instilling a hatred in a family for one's own child!
