Nooooooo.... you are misunderstanding me.

If I was born in a country that forbid eating cats and I really wanted to eat cats...I would move. If eating cats is really that important to me, I would want to be with other cat eaters.

No i get you. I just think it goes against the idea of what America is supposed to be. When we disagree with laws we are supposed to bitch and moan about them, not move. Its like the American way and what the country was founded on. If your miserable fight and change the misery, dont run form it.

Im still trying my experiment on any miserable Christians i come across. Ill keep you informed.

For me, it is not that they are trying to enact laws with which I disagree so much as it is that the basis on which they make those laws (religion) is nonsense. It is as if people were trying to enact laws using the stories of King Arthur as a basis. You would think those people were nuts. And when you realized they were serious, you would strongly object. And when you realized they were successful (or even close to it) you would be outraged.

What laws are you forced to follow? You have religious freedom, assuming you are in America. You don't have to be an American, however...just in the US.
Not an American law here, but in the UK I can't go to my local supermarket at 10AM on a Sunday morning because Christians don't want me to.

Same with the high street stores in the town centre.

Not that this is a major thing, nor does it make me care about religion much, but it's still absolutely ridiculous.

The way i look at it everyone has their own ideas of what the law should or shouldn't say. So its not that i really have a problem with them trying to mold the law in the way they want. We should all be able to do that in a democracy even if we base it on King Arthur (not that i like or agree with that bases).

My problem is with some Christians pulling the God card and basically saying. Why do you care, stfu accept our laws based on our morals and dont complain. Its just such hypocrisy because like i said if my morals were instituted there would be noting but caring and complaints and by the vary same people saying, why do you care.

I think part of the appeal of a moral authority is being able to tell people what to do, or in the very least getting to feel superior. Human beings enjoy feeling significant, and they enjoy the feeling of power because they are naturally selected for that. I think in a similar way the characteristics of religion are naturally selected for its survival. So it makes sense that a successful religion should create believers that want to impose on non-believers.
