Yet my point still stands. You were circumcised and you don't mind it; fine. When you go on to say there's nothing wrong with the practice because of that, that's where you're an idiot.

What are you talking about?! I never even said that! In fact I've said quite the opposite MANY times in this thread!

sigh

one last time

because (typically) religions are not just beliefs, they're also actions.

Who said they weren't? I said a religion can lead you to do something because you believe something will happen.
But you can also just get rid of religion completely and just believe something will happen if you do something.

What's the difference between killing a bunch of people for your religion so you can co go heaven and killing a bunch of people because you think something good will happen to you?

Americans are entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These 3 liberties override any rights given to citizens including freedom of religion. This ensures that people can't do any damn thing they desire.

Freedom of religion arguably falls under all three categories of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

But life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the naturally born, unalienable rights given to man which exclude any outside category, such as religion.

bearing everything I just said in mind about religious thoughtcrime, do YOU believe in thoughtcrime, muad_dib? Or instead do you pick and choose which of your religion's teachings you think are valid?

Well, I would probably argue that telling a child that they can suffer an eternity of the most horrific torment imaginable merely for what they think, as though this were a fact and not a guess, is indeed child abuse. But this came from teachers, not priests.
