Quote by: HelioPrime How is it a pluralistic society when you deny select people a right to place their values into effect in their local community. |
Because it's not THEIR community... it'
everyone's community, therefore everyone is asking for you... er, for them ... to politely keep
their values to
themselves.

Quote by: HelioPrime So in a "free and equal" society we have to default to secular views for everything? |
Has anyone even
hinted at that? That's like leaping from,
"They've asked us to conserve water" to
"They're demanding that we stop drinking water!"
You're being absurd.
"Waaah, how dare you cruel meanies try to stop us from imposing our views on everyone!" Quote:

If you ask me thats far greater hypocrisy. Allowing "religious" freedom yet separating it and forcing people to accept conflicting opinions and laws because only a secular society is allowed.

Only a secular GOVERNMENT is allowed, Helio, not a secular society. You're the ones forcing people to accept conflicting opinions everywhere we go, helio. We're asking you to stop and, at least in the public funded square, EVERYONE keep their religious beliefs to themselves.
If that means a secular public arena, then so be it, but it's certainly not as if anyone is ADVOCATING or preaching atheism. Secular means the
absence of
all beliefs, not the
presence non-belief.
LIke I said, get over yourselves.
