Reply #34: Nice job. (Though I have a standing disagreement with #1. NBD.)

My standing argument is that we also have a right to practice our religion within government, as, government, can make no law to stop such practice unless it harm life or liberty. But, this requires a bunch of mostly academic meanderings not meant for this thread. (PM me to a different post to discuss, but not here, please.)

Aside, you use hurt. Actually, I think under a religion a first party CAN hurt someone, UNLESS the hurt second party doesn't want to be hurt in which case the hurt second party is a part of a different religion and the first party originating hurt would then be guilty of denying civil rights of freedom of religion to the hurt party. Sorry for being wordy.

Your use of hurt could also mean that someone might feel hurt that someone else is of a different religion. Such feeling hurt should not deny anyone else right to choose nor practice religion of choice.

SUGGEST:
No one can stop you from worshiping in your way, and you can't stop others from worshiping in their way. (Nor can you stop others from the practice of not worshiping at all -- if that is their practice.)

Status: Ignored at will. Ten commandments go up while other religions are denied same presentation. Office holders and candidates tout their religious backgrounds blatantly denying this right.
