I do not know if it is just me, but whenever there is any controversy regarding anything about GOD, or as many say--religion, if they do not like what they are hearing, they say that you are violating their rights. Really? Is that all it is? In that case, I can think of a lot of things that violate my rights! This won't be the prettiest place to start, but what about those gays that are all over each other in public. I'm sorry but I think that's disgusting, and they are taking away my right to not have that image in my head. Think that's stupid? My point exactly. I feel like people anymore are too weak and cowardly to actually put up a real argument, so they fall back on the old "rights" routine. How about this, you're taking away the rights of parents to be able to send their kids into school to learn the BIBLE--without having to pay for it. Why? Because someone decided to claim the right not to see someone praying or reading their BIBLE. 

If you think I'm making this thread to trample over your rights, that's the last thing that I really want. The founding fathers gave us a bill of rights that we have. Many were christians, but they all believed that you should have the freedom to choose what to believe, even if you should choose to believe that there is no GOD. And I really do not see how things like "Christmas" infringe on that right. I just do not want people to be blind in saying that we're attacking their rights, when that is not the issue. If I say Merry Christmas, seriously, how does that infringe on your rights. If you say Happy Holidays, how does that infringe on mine. It does not. 

LunarDarkness2 : If I am not mistaken, I believe you to have said that you are an atheist. Perhaps you can help me in this debate. Say we are eating at a restaraunt together, if I bow my head and pray over my food, does that infringe on your rights? If you don't does it infringe on mine? If i tell you why I believe the way I do and you tell me the same, are we hurting each others rights. But if you say, You cannot believe in GOD because he is not real, and I say you have to because he is real. That is senseless. Yet I still do not feel an infringement of rights, because it is merely words. Here's what I think, if you seriously think there is an infringement of rights because I say merry christmas, and you say happy holidays, something is wrong in my opinion, Don't you think so? I'm not trying to be offensive, just trying to get to the bottom of an issue that has bothered me for so long.
