What are Christian rights?

Is there a such thing? I thought we all had human rights without a religious name attached. What would be a christian right? I don't think you are GRANTED a right above other people for being a religious person.

I'm not sure that theocracy is quite the right word for where I'm worried we're headed (even though I did use it in my previous post), but there is definitely a significant population of Christian extremists who are trying to errode the separation of church and state.  Look at abortion, gay marriage, censorship of the media, abstinence-only education, etc.  People quote the BIBLE as justification for banning abortion, for banning gay marriage, for restricting content of television and radio programs, for banning books from schools, for teaching kids only abstinence by way of sexual education.  Sure they have the right to practice Christianity, but what about MY right NOT to be Christian?  If citizens want to push for laws that reflect their religious beliefs they have every right to, but when judges and legislators start making decisions that favor the minority of Christian fudimentalists over the general population we're in trouble.  The current adminstration has made numerous attempts to circumvent the constitution and give money to Christian organizations, and that's more than a little troubling.  I don't like how much political power the Christian Church is gaining.  In order to protect our constitutional right to freedom of religion, no religious institution should have a significant influence in politics.\n\nAnd before anyone jumps in about "separation of church and state" not being in the constitution, I realize that these are not the words that appear in the first ammendment.  However, the first ammendment states "congress shall make now law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."  That means know giving money to religious establishments (as this is done via the budget which is a law, albeit a short-lived one) and no favoring the beliefs of one religion over another.  If you stop and think about it for two seconds, all congress can actually do is pass laws, and since those laws cannot be about religion, "separation of church and state" is just a more convienent name - the principle is definitely in the constitution.

We absolutely MUST protect the First Amendment!  It is the pinnacle of what we are as a nation, and to destroy it is to destroy the nation.  No joke!\n\nI had not been aware of any serious attempts to have us declared a "Christian Nation," but they must be resisted staunchly.  Not only because many of us are not Christian, but because we need to protect our rights even in the abstract.  It is true that non-Christians might be permitted to be citizens in a Christian Nation.  Or they might not.  Or they might only if they contributed to Christian churches.  In any case, this would not really be America, the Home of the Free and the Brave, if this assault on our First Amendment succeeds.\n\nEven if you are a Christian, do you really want to support losing our freedom?

Christian bashing has become the liberals perferred past time.  Exactly WHY they have been allowed to get away with it it beyond my comprehension.  You are SO right that if it were ANY other group being treated that way the country would rise up in righteous indignation.\nWe, as Christians, need to rise up and assert our rights, and I am not advocating anything violent.The rights we have lost include  the right to freedom of religion and freedom of speech, and right to assemble.\nI think, in all honesty, it began with Madelyn Murray O'Hare achieving her goal of removing prayer from schools.  That was the beginning of the snowball effect.  From that point, the rights of Christians have slowly been taken away.\nWhy have we allowed this to happen?

I see the moral issues, as they pertain to politics, as growing pains for a country with our form of government, largely populated with people who claim to be Christians.\n\nFor me, the Supreme Court started this decline with legislating morality, when the Constitution leaves this matter to the States.  \n\nEvery group will not be made happy.  Christians are wrong to believe our rights come from the Bible, although I still believe the Bible is where our forefathers got their ideas of freedom.\n\nHomosexuals are equally wrong to believe they have Constitutional protection for marriage.  This was not something the forefathers imagined or intended.  \n\nThe S. Court started down this slippery slope with decisions most of us think were good.\n\nConsensus is impossible to achieve, which is why our forefathers implemented the safeguards.  This is not a democracy, and the majority does not rule.  Sorry if that's what you were taught in school.\n\nI think the current approach, sending homosexual marriage to the States is a right decision, based on the 10th Amendment to the C.\n\nThe easy short answer is that both camps are wrong.  Christians cannot make laws just to please themselves, and individuals and other minorities cannot either.

Didn't you get the memo?  Freedom of speech and freedom of religion only applies to Christians.  All us non-Christians have to shut up and salute.

you have rights...you should know that...but not in the respect where church on sunday is concerned.  Apparently you were not a church goer then. perhaps corporation is looking at this with you in a totally different manner. if you want to do something about it go above the persons head who told you, you have to work it one sunday a month.

Hello, Christian Minister here,\n\n"Christians" have to walk a fine line between doing whats right and fighting whats evil.\n\nIf a christian believes something is wrong its their duty to fight the injustice, but if they do it in the wrong way, its actually doing evil.\n\nFor example, lets just assume that abortion is wrong, just for the sake of arguement. Now, if I were to speak out against abortion and say how Its really horrible that someone would end the life of a baby, that would be fine and moral. If I struck out and killed an abortion doctor to enforce my views, I would be doing evl.\n\nChristianity has a clause about obeying your government, so if the government says to shut down abortion clinics, it would prevent the offending act, as well as keep those forcing their views upon you feeling morally upright.\n\nGod gave every person free will, there are increasing number of christians who believe that free will should not be impeded, that those who wish to sin should be allowed to. I'm all for it, unless it harms another person. Being sent to heaven is typically a better situation than the baby would have had.\n\nIts tangled, but it comes down to, christians need to fight what is evil, but evil has crept in to the methods they use. Should abortion, once more for example, actually be outlawed, much more harm and immorality would come of it, due to coat-hanger abortions, and orphaned children. It's a losing battle, and if christians continue fighting for whats right, by outlawing whats wrong, you will have a large group, like yourself, arguing that it is not immoral, simply to have it legalized and restore free will.\n\n(For the benefit of those posting before me, let me lay something out, Marriage was a concept LONG before the days of the bible, early mesopotamians(you know, the believed earliest civilized society?) were believed to have a form of wedding vows, and pagan groups have had forms of hand bindings and oaths of love for a long long time. There are even strange types of marriage in the christian bible, Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, and he was honored throughout most of his part of the bible as a great leader and the example of Wisdom)

Freedom (as defined in the Bible) is the freedom from slavery to sin and death.\nIn other words a Christian can do whatever he or she wants to do!\nNow the question becomes, what does a Christian want to do?\nA true believer will desire to emulate Christ in thought, word and deed, and Jesus never sinned, so that desire produces an abhorrence for sin in the life of the believer which is not based on fear of punishment, but rather is motivated by love for the One who set them free.\nThe grace of God is not only the unmerited favor God bestows on mankind (in the form of salvation through Jesus Christ), but in the case of the believer, it is also the supernatural ability given by God through which we have both the desire and the ability to obey God.\nThe Bible is certainly clear on the fact that Christians should obey the laws of the land (wherever they happen to live), until those laws transgress a higher law, in which case God is to be obeyed, not man.\nIf congress passed a law that said, "wear a polka-dotted shirt on all Saturdays" I would go out and buy a polka-dotted shirt to wear on Saturdays. If congress passed a law saying, "Christianity is a clear and present danger to National security, and everyone must renounce Christ" I would willingly suffer whatever consequences refusal to renounce might bring.\nEither way, I am free to obey God, and no one can take that freedom away from me (since I have no longer enslaved to the fear of death, I am totally free).

Any time someone purchases an item(besides food), crosses a toll road, etc...they are paying taxes.  One of the greatest things about living in the U.S, is the pride that ALL of our citizens have the RIGHT to display.  It could be said that our freedoms allow a christian to build churches, display crosses, turn religious days into national holidays, etc...when christianity wasn't a native religion, and english wasn't the native language.  But. thankfully we are the UNITED States, and their is a place for everyone!
