Anyways, upon reviewing my feelings. I decided that I do not like ban of freedoms....even religious ones...though I have to admit at times I had the urge to break some religious people's heads. But I deal with my weakness. I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd

Ok thats fair enough.

Pulp fiction quote always a nice touch.

What makes you think that? Oh, haha, paedophilia, I get it. A stitch. Anyways, I do not hate Religion that much when I think about it cool headed, I do not like the moral code that some want to press on others though. For example I think Homosexuals should have the right to marry each other if they want. I do not like that the major Religions are opposed to it and kept it from happening, yet. I also think a woman has the right to choose over her body. She can't be forced to have a parasite in her for 9 months. Which is why I am for abortion, while the major Religions against aren't. Basically as a liberal I feel that we have no right to keep rights away from others as long as they wouldn't harm anyone. I have no problem with liberal religious people. Many are very authoritarian though. And as the idiot I am, I often generalize and feel a hate towards all Religion, but as I said. I work on it.

IMO Restricting religious freedom is wrong. I'd say humans are probably naturally spiritual beings and should have the right to believe and practice what they want as long as its doing no harm. Besides that, like others already said.. its just part of a restricting of freedom in general.

"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."

Many Americans people are pretty upset about China because Chinese government disallow religion freedom; they do not allow any religion institue built in there....

and 93% of Chinese are agnostic or atheistic.....

So some people use the word "communism" to insult Chinese people...
but have you thought about why Chinese government is banning religion freedom???

I think there is a reason
China, right now, is becoming a high-tech based nation. It will not be as good as Japan in term of technology, but close.

They are afraid that if religion freedom is allowed in China, those religious fanatics will try anyway to destroy their progress.

That's my feeling
I don't know about yours...
so although banning religion freedom might seem to be rude, there are reasons...or why do they need to do that?

How is it productive to torture someone for being Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, etc ? It's not better than religious persecution....
