69. And if they come for you, shadow, I'll have your back
The beauty of this country is the freedom to believe in any religion or no religion. This is one of our most sacred rights, IMHO, and I'll defend to the death your right to worship as you choose.

Just because you do not believe, that does not believe that you are less of a person than me or that you don't deserve the same rights and privileges that I do. I have several wonderful Wiccan friends and I cannot bear to think of them suffering because of their beliefs.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself." Doesn't leave much room for misinterpretation, does it? :D
