Have we forgotten freedom of religion?

It is practically embarrassing to be American right now. First SB 1070 and now all this fear of Islam.
Honestly, the uneducated masses are really turning into a flock of senseless and ignorant sheep.
-Hmm. Not surprised.

Things I currently have issues with:

1. The fact that more and more people think President Obama is Muslim. He isn't, and if he were, WHO CARES?

2. The fact that three proposed mosques in New York, Nashville, and (the more familiar to me) Temecula are being denounced and protested. Have we forgotten what our founding fathers have written? Freedom of religion is one of the most fundamental aspects of our Constitution. So regarding number 1 as well, WHO CARES if there are Islamic mosques being built? Who are next, Buddhists? Mormons? Jews? Hindus? Jehovah's Witnesses? And heaven forbid we target Atheists too. I was a little disappointed when Obama didn't take a firm stance on this (due to all the criticism from O.W.R.C.C.s**). But I am happy he addressed number 1.

3. I sincerely believe with all of my soul that people have the right to believe whatever they want and practice it whenever and wherever they choose. I also believe that humanity has outlived every religion, and it will surpass yours. There are plenty of playgrounds next to Catholic churches where little boys play all day long. No one is protesting that! Simply because a proposed mosque is 4 blocks from ground zero doesn't mean ignorant freaks can deny them the right to practice Islam. Its simply not our choice.

4. Last, believe what you want. IF god created us as a fair amount of people believe, he created us to doubt him, believe in other gods, and practice in many different ways. So quit protesting the Constitution and start promoting human rights, making America look even more stupid than we already do.


**O.W.R.C.C.s = Old white rich conservative christians - aka majority in power in all United States governmental institutions

I hope that these people find justice and peace in their endeavors to practice their faith.
Keep church and state separate please.
