    Disagree all you want, its a statistical fact. You can run, you can hide behind all the pretty words and definitions you want, but modern science is about to expose the whole Mafia mentality of morality in America today. Their behavior is so predictable, the mathematicians are already going to town on it organizing it all into a nice neat package they can apply to anything including internet traffic and bots.

    Hypothetically speaking, in a vacuum, if all religious representations just instantly vanished, I think so. I'm not sure what grounds someone would have to hold religious hatred on if they had no representation to gauge another person's religion.

    Practically speaking, no way. I believe it's unconsitutional and there are at least a fair amount of religious people who see it as their mission to proselytize and/or outwardly display their religious affiliations. Not to mention all the money religious institutions bring in and political influence, so attempting a ban would lead to more violence.

    Miracles tend to make most people silent and shy . A poet would speak aloud as witness .

    It is not unconstitutional because if it was, France and Quebec, as well as the Muslim countries that have outlawed the veil, would not have been able to do so.

    If you are an American, you should recognize that the U.S. does not walk it's constitutional talk and the much amended and revised constitution is garbage.

    You are a nation of laws based on a failed constitution, which is clearly shown by your law jailing more people than any other free world country.

    Yes and no. Imagine with me for a moment that religious thought is a pebble that you are tossin' into a calm lake. Now imagine the ripples spreading out from the point of impact. The first ripples, lets say, divine morality and the superiority of the adherents, resemble most the pebble but as those ripples spread they become distorted. Religion began the ripple of inequality but it was inevitable that those ripples would begat equality as well. Everything has an equal and opposite reaction. Without the action of the one the opposite cannot exist.
    My permission to translate how you see fit? I give none because it is not mine to give.
    See above. Directly correlates

    Nice to know I have your permission to be a human being. Thank you for not deciding I am a worthless wretch and can make decisions for myself like a real boy.

    Well my state alone has 2/3 the population of France, so just because it can be implemented there, doesn't suggest it can be implemented in all countries and at different population scales.

    I'm quite certain it would be presented as unconstiutional in the US regardless of what you think of the Constitution and it's Amendments.

    If you perceive that to be what was said then so be it. Perhaps you should go eat something, take a healthy dump, and contemplate why you so desperately seek to be insulted

    Taoists say, "The humor of the toddler is the hardest to master" because, of course, you are the toddler baby! You cannot insult me because I am not part of any Babylonian pecking order, and only find it funny. Call a toddler stupid and they may laugh in your face. I collect metaphors for my book, and sarcasm is the particle-like effect of humor, while the gentle laughter of the toddler is the lowest possible energy state, harmonious bliss, and expressed in an adult becomes infectious laughter. I know the idea of imitating children sounds stupid, but they really have always taught me the greatest lessons.

    I am the Wu Li master of the Tao Te Ching, the Shockwave Rider who rides the Great Rainbow Fractal Dragon, a warrior of the Rainbow, and I shall fight my words no more forever, for all of my days. Not something I expect Babylonians to comprehend, with them debating the meaning of honesty and authenticity, as if you need to buy an exclusive membership.

    Hippies, tribal hippies to be specific. My brothers and sisters who often know I would die for them and, some of them, you never want to make angry. Love is all you need, but one was born in a barn and has a short fuse. We don't discriminate except to insist they never commit violence around us except to defend themselves. Our children are fearless, and we have to teach them to fear Babylonians, just as many tribes have historically.

    You are nothing more than an equal and opposite reaction to a prior action. Ypur rules are no different than theirs and your ways are exactly the same

    Bullshit Logic

    Bullshit logic is just so damned easy,
    Even bullshit artists refuse to believe,
    Just rejecting their bullshit, is bullshit!
    The only logic bullshit artists recognize,
    Built entirely of blue smoke and mirrors!
    Hides everything under huge piles of crap,
    Wherever the sun, can never hope to shine,
    Safeguarded deep, between their ass cheeks;
    Ensuring it won't ever vanish in the light of day!

    Never heard of it. My poetry contains all that I need, and more than anybody really wants.
