It is your definition of "freedom" that has haunted history, made of religion a scourge, and a whipping post of the graciousness of the Spirit.

Right, it has haunted history and it will torment the hearts and minds of men who reject the truth of Christ for all eternity.

The rest of you post is liberal ridiculousness. There is no freedom of any kind for anyone locked in the bondage of sin. To say as you do, the Constitution guarantees such freedoms is asinine. God cannot look upon sin and The Holy Spirit is grieved by same. Those caught up in sin are to be pitied and witnessed to. They are not to be placated and coddled in their lost state by false teachers under the liberal notion that mankind is somehow noble as he stands in his depravity. Some kind of lovable brotherhood of the damned. You would use a warped misinterpretation of the Constitution to insulate men from the certainty of judgment.

If you weren't arrogant enough to parse God's perfect Word, taking out that which you cannot accept, you'd realize how profoundly dangerous is the ground upon which you tread. It was The Lord Himself Who said a house divided against itself cannot stand. One cannot claim to have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ on the one hand, while on the other try to use that relationship as a kind of fire insurance so that he may then deny that which he does not agree with that God has said in other parts of His Word. The only defense for men is the blood of Christ. Your arguments are woefully inept in comparison to those Satan has already put forth. And as everybody knows, his arguments were rejected by The Creator.

You argue with me on such matters, but the real rub exists between you and God Almighty. Accept the truth or reject the truth, there is no middle ground.
