re: #332 Lynn B.

WTF? Those are false choices. And neither the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court nor the President has the power to ban any religion or re-define it as not being a “real” religion.

“Rapeology” already exists and it has plenty of adherents. They’re called “rapists.” Some get caught and go to jail, others are still out there raping. The same for murder, burglary and shop lifting. There are organizations all over the country that preach tax evasion. Their freedom of speech stops at incitement to break the law and there are plenty of laws on the books that allow them to be shut down. The same is true for religious organizations.

But yet again, you seem to be saying that it is in fact OK to “shut down” religions if they advocate violating US law.

But since the Supreme Court has ruled that it is illegal to have to unequal legal systems, and if some fundamentalist Islamic preachers do in fact preach and advocate for the practice of sharia (which is a separate and unequal legal system), then aren’t they breaking the law according to your definition. And thus, are you saying they should be “shut down”?
