Mini Mantras

I get very scared when I hear someone say freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. That sounds like they are telling me I must have religion under this constitution. Freedom of religion means you are free to believe or not, believe in what ever you want, practice what ever ritual you want (within all other laws), and the government shall remain agnostic—make no claim about God. Even the authors of this idea didn’t fully practice it, but it is the correct way to deal with peoples’ fairy tales.

I do not see how torture fits into the whole inalienable rights endowed by our creator line in the Declaration of Independence. I thought one of those gifts was the right to free speech. The right to free speech also means the right to be speechless—the Fifth Amendment.
