Excesses often occur with all.
History shows how life back then was based on religion by who died and who survived and that was proven with the Northern Ireland Troubles which dated back before the Flight of the Earls. There have been more wars throughout world History were religion based and/or caused. Practically all the countries in the world were religion based and ruled and was one of the main reasons why those percecuted came here and because of that reason and combined that with all the years hence, we still try to accept the existance of all religions still today but, as you said, times change just like laws change and although our Constitution, under the 1st Ammendment includes "Freedom of Religion", the Fourteenth should have been changed to include "Protection from Religion" when it was written.

If we can be threatened and/or attacked by another country's politcal based government and we have and will defend ourselves and our country from that threat or attack, so can we if that threat is religous based and the main source of that government's governing body.

So many idiots today are calling for the change of the Consitution regarding the 2nd Ammendment and how it is outdated, I say the 1st and 14th Ammendments are outdated when if comes to religion and the threat today from the religion of Islam and until those two Ammendments are change, we damn well best hang on for dear life to that 2nd Ammendment.....IMO

I'm not going to comment further about this subject, I fought for all those God given Constitutional Rights but even I have arrived at the point that I could care less if the muslims and their religion of Isalm should one day disappear from the face of this earth. Some might say that would mean the deaths of so many innocent people....charity and LIFE begin at home in today's world....IMO.
