    So what is an example of something you think this topic is referring to? It’s not referring to a family doing a quick prayer before a public meal.

      It sounds like a bunch of flimsy bullshit in order to legally oppress practicing religious freedoms.

      You should always question why law enforcement gets extra work.

        So, you’re not able to answer my question or you’re refusing to?

        I don’t disagree that giving law enforcement more work should be questioned, but… religious people are the cause of… most of the world’s problems. So I don’t have a ton of empathy. Keep it in your church.

          Why should I have to answer your question? What makes you so special that I’m required to do indulge in your navel gazing?

          Making the practice of prayer illegal in any form is asinine and an overstepping of personal freedoms.

          If you can’t understand that, start looking at every fascist entity of the past, and realize you’re on the wrong side.

            I disagree. Sorry. Religious people are just… the cause of most problems in the world.

            It sounds like your idea of “fascism” is Socialism without Religion… sign me up.

              People using religion to oppress and usurp others, yes.

              People just having a personal relationship with whatever they believe in? No.

              Often, what one would see as a crime or nuisance while observing “religious practices” is simply another already codified behavior. Also, meditation could be constructed as prayer under the vagueness of these kinds of laws.

                No one is saying that a person cannot be religious. They are saying that they cannot pray on the side of the street. It’s cold on the side of the street, you have a dedicated place for this. I imagine that it has comfortable seats, made of solid gold, and people that you know. Go there, get the fuck out of my face with your fucking bigotry and hate.

                Religion had its time, and it failed. Get back in the fucking closet.
