The First Freedom

People always talk about the First Freedom. People even think that the First Freedom is Free Speech. Think again. I Quote "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." There you go folks. People say this is a Christian country. Wrong! As most of the Founding Fathers were Freemasons and Deists, should it come as a surprise that the first Freedom guaranteed is the freedom to believe and practice whatever the hell you want? A belief structure I have recently adopted as the best description as to what I believe. Don't know what Deism is? Look it up. In a recent article I read 4 Chris tans were arrested at a Islamic Cultural Festival. Bullshit is what I say. Bullshit on two accounts. The fact that they were arrested for a BS reason, and Bullshit to the fact they were there in the first place. Leave them alone! We have a right to believe what we want to believe, we don't need others shoving their beliefs down our throat. Do the Muslims go door to door and speak about the wonders of Allah? No, so why the hell are we doing it? If someone wants to know about Christianity they will ask. Other then that its a colossal waste of time and gives people like me a bad name! It makes me sick to think that I fell into the same category as alot of these close-minded, bible-thumping, believe-what-I-believe-or-burn-in-hell people. I'm not having a crisis of Faith, I'm having a crisis of Faith in Religion. One I don't think will ever be fixed. And I'm not sure I want it to.
