Is this to say the censoring of anything only comes from the religious? City council in LA just banned the building of any new fast food restaraunts in poorer sections. Cities and counties across the US ban smoking in public and private areas...I don't think there is any religious basis whatsoever for the fairness doctrine which is working it's way up the ladder again in congress. That is a horribly clear example of censorship. What about the movement to remove anything resembling unorganized prayer in schools? I don't think that is religious in nature. The secularists want censorship also, it's just their kind of censorship so it's ok.

Any "societal outrage" is necessarily and obviously religious in nature. If it weren't, censors wouldn't feel justified in attempting to control the lives, thoughts, and behaviors of people, other adults, in fact, they will never meet or know. This is, after all, a democracy. The censors you were describing take their perceived strength, and the concomitant arrogance and sanctimoniousness (necessary if they are to ignore or dismiss the democratic protections cloaking those they seek to control), from their claim that they are doing God's work. They seek power in order to require you to practice THEIR religion. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
