By calling the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, you are therefore agreeing we are a Christian nation. Just want to make this point clear. You are also agreeing that we are a nation of laws based on Christianity. Is this so. if not, then those wars are not religious wars. So which is it?
No, I asked which amendments in the constitution conflict with Christianity. Abortion is not an amendment, 21st does not conflict as it gives the right to prohibition to state and local powers, and don't ask don't tell is military law, separate from constitutional law since the military is not under constitutional jurisdiction. So of all the amendments in the constitution, which ones go against Christianity?
Rubin was just pointing out you r complaining about christians imposing their views and beliefs on you, while you do the same thing. He never stated he didn't do this.....
You may not support the cigarette tax (and I highly doubt you talk with lots of smokers about price since they are now over 7 dollars in most places) but YOU DID SUPPORT THE "HEALTH/SUGAR TAX". what is the difference?
So, you didn't apy your owed taxes ios what you are saying?. You violated the law and with held moneys due the state? You are a tax fraud? You did not pay in your share to help maintain roads? Yet you want the tax rate to go up on other people....Ironic.

Say what? What do the religious tensions and conflicts in Afghan and Iraq have to do with US religious beliefs? That comment made no sense. The whole premise of us staying in those countries is to help them protect their new 'Democracy'. We aren't telling them what religion to practice, it's none of our business. I never said this country's principles and values weren't based on Christianity, I just don't agree with Christian beliefs dictating what laws can be created for the ENTIRE populas of the US. You want to go waste your Sunday sitting there listening to some blowhard tell you how to run your life, then on the back side steal 10% or more of your hard-earned cash to fill his pockets, knock yourself out. Just don't tell me I have to do the same.
Abortion and being Gay is considered a Freedom of Expression. That 'freedom' has always indirectly been tied to the 1st Amendment, even though it isn't explicitedly written there.
What Health/Sugar Tax are you talking about? When did I support that? That was some nutjob in NY promoting that to try and curb obesity, which it appears most Americans can't do. People want to stuff their faces with every fatty/sugary food known to man, blow up like stuffed pigs, then complain they don't feel good and their health insurance should cover Lap Band surgey so they can get fit again just to start the fat cycle all over. Does the law usurp your privileges as Americans? Sure it does. But some laws are created because Americans are too stupid or ignorant to see the "Writing On The Wall", and they need someone to force them to do tthe right thing. I'd like to pop open a beer while I'm cruising down the road. It's my privilege to do that if I want. Why should there be a law to tell me I can't drink a beer while driving? If someone eats so much sugar that it rots all their teeth out, they have to go to a dentist to get them fixed. If enough people do it, insurance companies will raise ALL our rates because of all these sugar eaters. What's the difference?
The taxes were for the county, not the State. When I moved there, I was never informed when I registered my vehicles and boat that I would be assessed property taxes on those items simply because they were registered in Dallas County. If I had known that, I would have never registered them in Dallas, therefiore I would've never been assessed the taxes. I wouldn't have broken any laws, because Texas doesn't require you to register your vehicle in the County you live in. As long as it's registered somewhere in the State Of Texas, the sticker is good for the entire state. I actually have several friends who live in Dallas that do the same thing. Again, another stupid revenue generator for Dallas. No other County or City in the State of Texas does this that I know of.
