[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] HATRED of religion (in general or in specificity) has been a fundamental aspect of the beliefs of the three greatest murderers of the century: Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. When was the last time you heard about a bunch of Christians getting together and killing a few million people? Oh, wait. It's never happened, by definition. You want to outlaw religion because of some perceived danger it presents? OK, how 'bout we outlaw all displays of communistic and socialistic beliefs, too. They've been responsible for nearly a hundred million deaths in this century alone, FAR more than you could possibly blame on any religion. Heck, I doubt that all religions combined have caused that many deaths throughout all of history. Jay: [i]I would point out Omega that freedom of expression is not an enumerated right in the Constitution.[/i] And I would point out that I was merely responding to exactly what Eclipse said. He used the term "expression", therefore I did as well. Of course, not all rights of the people are enumerated in the Constitution, as stated by the ninth ammendment thereto, so you could make a case that the author of a book has a right to freedom of expression. So long as he doesn't infringe on MY rights to, say, burn my personal property, stupid as my reasons may be. [/QB][/QUOTE]
