[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt What about the rights of the majority? If the citizens of any given country are overwhelmingly of one faith, say America or Canada or Austrailia, 90% Christian, or Iraq or Iran or Turkey, 90% Muslim, then as long as the religious rights of the minority are not violated, the majority of the folks in that country should be allowed to openly celebrate their religious festivals. In the US our constitution guarantees us the freedom to practice our own religion without restriction but not to keep our neighbor from practicing his own. We also make a really big deal about promoting ethnic diversity, why can't we do same with religion? If the Muslims or Jews or Hindus or Atheists want to have parades or festivals or take the day off it's alright with me as long as I don't have to participate, just as they don't have to join in when I follow my traditions. Today's PC wants to keep folks with a minority view from feeling different or out-of-step with the mainstream. Well I've got news, they ARE different. And that's not a bad thing it just makes them what they are. The majority must allow the minority to be just that, different, but we don't have to deny our own unique character in the process. So, a very happy hoilday season to us all regardless of how we choose to celebrate or not celebrate it. Walt [/quote] Walt well said,I guess what infuriates me is they don' get us or try to. We are "one nation under god" meaning it never was said in terms of who's god meaning Allah, Budda, Jesus etc. Our country gives the right of freedom of religion or if YOU chose none. I'm venting no train stuff for me on X-mas[V]
