Freedom of religion allows for every American citizen to practice freely, without fear of consequence, any religion of their choosing. I do not believe that it protects them to try to force their religion on others. This right to claim religious belief to justify any action, up to and including, assassination invades the boundaries of my right to not believe; to not have their beliefs forced upon me or my fellow Americans.
Christians may loathe abortion, but regardless of whatever hateful doctrine they may subscribe to they do not have legal protection for their actions. Their god may tell them to kill a man because he performed abortions, but that does not mean that the rest of us have to stand by and let these hypocritical, hateful bigots be protected. Their god demands that “thou shalt not kill”, not “kill when someone disagrees with your belief in me”.
Instead of killing abortion doctors, how about this fanatic sect of Christians take on a more positive social role and actually do what Jesus might do: adopt an unwanted baby, work to STOP child abuse and get real about sexual education and work to prevent unwanted pregnancies to begin with. Well, I admit that would require an acceptance that man is an animal, a mammal specifically (not divine); an animal that propagates the species by procreation, not out of love or some holy mandate by god only sanctified by the man-mad construct of marriage, but out of a biological, natural need. This happens with or without God-so why not just leave him out of it?
A religion that preaches hate and advocates assassination is not a religion, it is a terrorist cult, and should be considered enemy combatants and rounded up by Homeland Security and held without trial, without a lawyer, and without constitutional protection. Maybe we can even employ water-boarding, lest another upstanding American citizen be gunned down in his place of worship. Let’s see how they like it. It certainly seems to be the American policy reserved for Muslims.
Are Christian terrorists above the law or beyond extraordinary rendition. Or is it a terrorist organization shedding its veil?
