Interesting. Religion does seem to enjoy special dispensation and frankly gets away with a lot. I respect someones right to follow Islam or Buddhism or Christianity as equally as I respect someone's right to drive a pink car or watch Steven Seagal movies. I think they're all equally repulsive...
We certainly did fight for EVERYONE'S freedom, with a little help from guess who.......
