    So what? Like it or not they are a part of society and have just as much Right to have a say in the laws of this country as you do. If you don't like a law that they propose then either vote against it or vote against any politician that espouses such.

    Separation of Church and State =/= Freedom FROM religion. It does not mean that no religious person can push things that are a part of their ideology in the form of laws. ALL that it means is that the State cannot make laws favoring one religion over another religion or non-religious. That is it. For instance the State cannot make a law that forces you to read the Bible, or the Koran, or Rastafarian Edicts or any other religious/non-religious text. But it CAN make a law that distributes ALL, not just one of them, out to The People free of charge.

    No, are aren't. The principle is that substantive due process is faulty reasoning.

    The dog can't consent to the legal contract of marriage. Our country is based on a contract.

    I'm not aware of any Catholic policy that would prevent someone from ringing up a contraceptive.

    It's rare someone can combine this kind of ignorance and hatred for liberty in the same post. Congrats.

    You're quite free to challenge it in court. Indeed, I'd think you might even have a case. Although you may be appropriating a culture so you'd lose your leftist card, as such I'd suggest thinking carefully before choosing which religion to follow.

    You should be happy. Thomas' comment gives dumb democrats a reason to get out and vote. I don't think it will be nearly enough to stave off the slaughter though.

    should not have to challenge it in court, it's a right we should all have

    only the right would think you have to be a certain race to practice a religion

    Oh and just a little helpful hint, your case wouldn't be based on race.

    (from my link)

    It would be based on the 14th Amendments equal protection clause.

    If we really believe that, there is a process to make it so. That process does not start in the courts.

    And yet you haven't cited a single religious nut. I wonder why.
