Speakeasy forum: Another Religious Freedom story

to their culture? There is plenty that can be done on tribal or "sacred" land that cannot be done by those of other blood. I don't buy the "bible" and repository comparison. To my knowledge, bible believers don't sacrifice the book in their worship....though some might butcher its messages at times.

and we know we can always count on you to stretch your imagination beyond those of most here.

You did give me an idea, however. With all the green and eco freaks out there wanting to spend their money in guilt free ways, they might be more willing to shell out money for wood products made from trees that went naturally than for wood that came via the chopper's ax. We'll need certificates of authenticity.

but you still can't kill them. I'm not aware that any raptors are game fowl anyway.

Here's an idea, Toni. They could do what the paper companies do. The paper companies plant trees on tree farms to raise raw material for their manufacturing. The Native Americans could raise birds for use for their purposes. Time for me to make a sandwich for lunch, on bread made of sacrificed wheat.

If their faith is what it should be, then govt interference shouldn't matter to them

IF you believe the statement you just made

AND you have been known to quote scripture...so you must have "faith", as do Islamists

You would also have no problem with Sharia Law in America

Or maybe I misread your statement...and you would have a problem with it, and you are just egging other religions on to doing something against the law.

Agent Provocateur?

I wouldn't have put a ?

Slipped up there didn't YOU?

HEY!!!!

According to YOU...A faith is a faith is a faith.

If their faith is what it should be

According to Dictionary

confidence or trust in a person or thing:
belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit

I'm not condoning them breaking the law,

then you mention "laying down their lives for their faith". ....... lay down their lives?

Are you suggesting suicide?

Isn't that against the law?

I know, I know, what are they (the Government) gonna' do to ya'?

or are you saying shoot the eagles and suffer the consequences?

Isn't that breaking the law?

You're just saying

JUST DO IT?

But you're not condoning it.

a faith is a faith is a faith

They've made many toy plastic planes that have never flown in the sky, far more than are real. Numbers of "look likes" doesn't matter, but only the "real thing" does.

Should it be and would you be okay with that? Maybe if it was recognized and okay then they could Unionize and maybe become a third party that could run in your elections? Wouldn't that be lovely to have a radical religious leader be in power? There is no end to the possibilities......

something that could be considered in Canada by any of your many parties? Would that be okay with you if it was?

It's a way of life......and the basis for law in some countries. Catholicism IS a religion and ISN'T a basis for law.

Attempts to set up Sharia courts in Canada in 2005 were abandoned after protests. The Jewish community and the Catholic community did not want Muslims introducing Sharia into Canada, so they accepted the decision to ban all religious arbitration in Ontario, including their own respective tribunals.

In May 2005, the Quebec National Assembly unanimously supported a motion to block the use of Sharia law in Quebec courts.

ban all religious arbitration in Ontario, including their own respective tribunals.

You get it.....their own respective tribunals?

Not that they ever had any.

Obamacare imposing contraception laws onto the Catholic religion

I see it as

The Catholic Religion telling the government what it can't do.

The Bill of Rights is all about what the government cannot do and not about what it can.
