14. Not to mention the fact that not everyone belongs to a religon at all.

I have no objection to people being religious, but too many religions include a "we're right and everyone else is wrong" component that leads to an assumption that they have the right to impose their rules on everyone else, including those who do not share their views.

That's where I have to draw the line and say, "You think abortion (or whatever else they frown on) is wrong? Fine, no one is saying you have to ever have an abortion (or do any of the other things they frown on). That doesn't mean you have the right to dictate what other people can do!"

I'm pretty sure Alito and Thomas harbor that desire to impose their religious beliefs on everyone else. They try not to be too obvious about it, but that attitude is definitely there, and it makes them very dangerous, imo. I'm not as sure about the other 4 conservatives, but I'm pretty sure Alito and Thomas have that attitude in spades!

GREAT QUESTION! tanyev Mar 26 #1
