Why do stupid religious people have to mess with laws?
396336
Religious people feels they have the "right" to legislate "What is morally right" because "god is on their side! History has shown that it is not god who corrupts society, but the people who act in his name. The name of the game is power, and imposing one's will on their fellow man. That was why our ancestors came to America, to escape "Religious persecution"! The question came up as to why the 10 commandments can't be displayed in the courthouse! Would you feel as supportive if we used a copy of the Koran or another religious symbol that was not Christian? Separation of Church and State means no one religion has the power to subjugate or repress another.

THey do these thing because they are selfish and inconsideragte. The laws are in place for a reason. Breaking them does not signal the ned for their abolition.

True, when the leaders twist the laws for their own purposes.  I agree 100 %\n\nBut that does not mean that Religion and government is bad, just that we should not allow people to manipulate us for their OWN good by twisting it.\n\nPeace!

Usually the religion has nothing to do with it. It's usually the ignorant people that take what the religion says and misinterpret the meaning. They try to force their beliefs onto other people and get pretty hostile about it. It's just ignorance!

It makes them think there is hope and keeps uncontrollable idiots from causing havoc to the world...the more scared they are(believing in consequences for actions by god & what not)...the more behaved people will be.I don't need religion or anybodies beliefs to guide my way of life.\nAlso,Atheists are idiots...they argue with religious people and try to sway people into their beliefs...\nJust trust your heart and be your own man!!!!!Let everyone else believe what they want!!!!!!\nIf ya want to say "god bless you" to a religious lady after she sneezes then be my guest...just try to stay neutral...it's less stressful & less complicated!

Because we have countries that do not respect laws and think that their way of life enables them to kill anyone in the name of religion.  This is a way to restrict their travel.

Hi,\n    My simple answer to is "lack of knowledge" causes such problems. None of the religious in this world is bad or have wrong things write.

Can we justify changing the law for ....anything? Yes, we do it all the time. There's always a reason for changing law but it's a matter of opinion as to whether it is justifiable.\n\nThe has to be a demonstrably bad aspect of an existing law (or no law at all about something bad) and then there must be good, well-thought-out reasons for making new legislation. Loop-holes have to be taken out. All that requires time, and sensible people working on the evidence and solutions. And for religious issues, clear definitions of words like 'religion' or 'faith' or whatever must be in place at the outset. That's why Government generally makes a pig's-ear out of religious law-making. They react, do things in a hurry, and most of them haven't a clue what the religious issues are truly about.

Now, now. They're not stupid, even if they act like they are. They're just over-emotional and have made their political beliefs into their religious beliefs.\n\nAnd their litergy tell them that 'Bush is dumb' and 'Bush is evil' and 'Bush is lying'. And they then get angry because they cannot reconcile reality to their political religion, and they collectively do the Howard Dean scream - Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh.\n\nAnd because it is their religion, when you dispute them, you are attacking their faith, which automatically makes you evil and wrong. No logic or facts required.\n\nThere just aren't enough deprogrammers to help them all.
