Yes, I do not believe in equal freedom for all religions. I believe that Judeo-Christian faiths should be the only ones allowed.
This is, of course, a wish. While the Federal Constitution forbids making any law regarding national religion, it is possible that the states could declare themselves Christian and such. A quick study of the Constitution will show that.

Sorry, doesn't work that way. Any state that established a state religion would violate the national constitution, would get its ass sued in court, and lose.
I wonder why they always say "Judeo-Christian faiths", "Judeo-Christian values", and so on? Do they really feel that much in common with Jews? Most Jews I know wouldn't want to be associated with these fucknuts.
I know Christianity originated from Judaism and all, but Jews REJECT JESUS CHRIST (OH NO!!!!), so I don't see why Christians sympathise with them any more than members of other religions.

A quick study of the 14th Amendment shows that to be, in fact, quite impossible. Try again.
What about Zoroastrianism, eh? The first organized monotheistic faith, from which Judeo-Christian faiths probably borrowed many ideas from? Would that be allowed, numbskull? What about the ancient religions of the fertile crescent? They have a flood story and a king who recieves divine law on a stone tablet... odd coinkydink, huh?
Oh, and read the Constitution, by the way. More of it than the first paragraph or two.
Do you hear that sound armyman 83? It is Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe spinning in their graves. Go fuck up someone else's country, ours has survived quite nicely for 200 years without religious fascism.

Yes shame those evil Founding Fathers prevent you from attempting a Christian Theocracy, the commie bastards. Right. Why did they hate America so much?

I love how they always invoke law but don't know what they're talking about.
That's because they want everyone to think they are smarter than they really are.
By that logic, individual states can outlaw guns! Oh wait...
The precedent of national law being supreme to state law existed way before the 14th amendment. It just explicitly states it in the 14th so that those rights guaranteed in the Constitution couldn't be infringed on the newly-freed black people.

Because otherwise, they'd be (correctly) seen as anti-Semites, and in America, unless you're Mel Gibson, that's a one-way ticket to failure as a public figure. If they lived in the 1930s, they would have said America was "Christian" (no Judeo) nation and talked about how Jews are corrupting America's youth...
Yes, only Judeo-Christian religions should be allowed. Of course, at some point it may be necessary to get rid of the "Judeo" part. And then, of course, you have to get rid of the ones who aren't "really" Christians. We'll start with the Jehovah's Witnesses, then move on to the Quakers and the Mormons. The Episcopalians and all the other "gay" churches are right out. It goes without saying that the Catholics can go, and since the Orthodox are just as bad, they can go too. And then there's...
See, this is the problem with not allowing religions. History has shown that it is really, REALLY hard to know when to stop.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
