Why is it that most christians think that because they can't have their religion in certain places, they blow things out porportion by saying that their religion is being limited?
First off, how can they even say that their religious freedom is being limited in the first place? Here in the USA, christianity is the dominate religion.
Want proof that there religion is not being limited? Check this out.
This is an idea copied from "the American Atheist" webpage!
Try picking up the yellow pages directory for your area. (This works especially well if you live in a major metropolitan region like New York or L.A.). Turn to the section listed under "Churches." Start counting. You may find, especially in those fatter directories, dozens of pages. I once lived in a city with some 500,000 inhabitants; its yellow pages could boast of nearly a dozen pages listing the name, address and phone number of every church. There were hundreds of them. The Christian Coalition is trying to organize 60,000 churches in the nation into its political muscle machine. And that still doesn't include all of the churches, chapels, monasteries, shrines, temples and cathedrals where the "people of faith" (a sweet-sounding term the Christian Coalition likes to use) may pray, chant, sing, burn incense, dance, gyrate, dip into holy water, take communion, kneel, genuflect and do whatever they feel has to be done in order to appease and propitiate the god or gods of their choice. That's not counting synagogues, temples and mosques which may cater to the "minority religions" in America; nor does it include the small, ad-hoc congregations that dot the landscape meeting in private homes or motel hospitality rooms.
Now tell me this. If christians really think that their religious freedom is being limited then why is it that some phone books have over 60,000 churches into it's directory?
Honestly guys. Come on! Really! However, don't stop there with the yellow page test though. Look on our money and you'll see the phrase "In god we trust" on the dollar bills and the coins. Guess who put that statement there? Even though the law says that you are not required to do this, some courts still make certain people put their hand on the bible and say the phrase "...so help you god." We have television programs like Pat Robertson's B.S. at the 700 club. Hell, there are at least 5 channels on cable T.V. that is made especially for christians to promote their religion. Even though the law say that there are not to be any religious practice on school time, before and after school time most christians rear their ugly heads and form unions and some other types of groups like they did back in 1999 at my school. Even now as we speak, our current president, Mr. George W. Bush, is trying (or have) to make the government put funding for certain religions here in the U.S.A., even though it is a violation of the separation of church and state (also, it is discrimination as well because he is putting funding for only faith groups that he thinks is a religion).
To get to the point, I don't understand why most christians are complaining about their religious freedom being limited when it looks like they have virtually taken over the whole country of the USA like parasites or something. Christians do have ample amount of time to pray or do whatever they need to do to please their religious beliefs (they are going to have ample amount of time if they damn well see fit anyway so what is the point of complaining about religious freedom being limited). Damn! Some of them just act like they can't live without their religion just like they can't live without food, clean air and water. I personally think that most of them are really complaining about limited religious freedom because most of them can't accept the fact that not everyone agrees with their religion and not everyone want christians to shoved their religion into their faces when they say they do not agree with it, so they think that their religious freedom is being limited because of this. Also, if some christians don't see what they like, like a music store promoting Marilyn Manson CD's for instance, and the store refuses to take the CD's down, they also want to complain about their religious freedom being limited too because they can't get what they want. How Pathetic!
