Yes, and the Christians in the Dover case drove car bombs into the
school... Gay marriages have been bombed out by Christians concealing
bomb vests.

So their excuse is that they're 2000 years behind the rest of the world?

It was mostly religious people who created and supported our
Constitution. The reason they put so much emphasis on FREEDOM of
religion is because they had just broken away from England where there
wasn't any, and the people had a tendency to kill you based on your
religion. The religious folk who came here simply wanted to be left
alone to do their thing - and they've done so, for the most part,
since.
