Obama Breaks Down Why We Need Separation of Church & State
So you're saying that if someone is speaking about what they believe as a religion that all the sudden that is pushing their view on you? Religion just like everything else is a opinion and everyone has the right to tell their opinion. I don't see how just speaking your mind and what you believe is in anyway forcing someone to believe that way as well. If that is the case then you will agree Obama was pushing his beliefs on everyone by simply giving a speech about some of his ideas(beliefs)? Unless of course there is a double standard?

Using the podium of elected office to sell religious opinion is not the correct venue, and is at counter purposes to the job outline for that office.
Great thread, great posts.

i guarantee if a catholic, musilim, or a buddhist, put as much religious speech on american tv, we would have all the evangelicals/southern baptist up in arms crying about how they are pushing their beliefs on us.

kudos
and we do have the counter story: COUNTRIES THAT HATE US, religions that hate us, we keep hearing this about islam and muslims. their extremist people are simply following their ultra conservative and extremist interpretation of their religion. same way bush says god told me to go to war, they say god tells us to kill the infidels... same shit on either side, just 2 different religions and beliefs, same formula though.
