Jesus. We have folks here angry about how American English is spoken! Really?

I think I need to go find my happy place for a while. This place is a bit toxic at the moment.

I would be careful about using the word Jesus. I just found out it is illegal to ridicule religion in Connecticut.

The same law makes racial ridicule illegal, too, which is why I know about it because two whites just got arrested for yelling the N word.
@JoyfulSilence I wonder if it’s illegal there to name one’s child “Jesus”. A lot of Spanish-speaking families would be in trouble.

@bijouxbroussard I can understand going after racial ridicule. Nobody can control their color or appearance, and neither has a bearing on character. But people choose to believe in religious fantasies, so they can and should be challenged.

@JoyfulSilence Nope... you let them have freedom of religion no matter how much you think they are fantasies...Religion has been around some nice the beginning of time and it is going to be here at the end of time!

@JoyfulSilence Freedom of religion is the first amendment of the constitution.

@SW-User Yep. A person has a right to be atheist or agnostic, and a person has a right to believe and have religion. It's about freedom.
SW-User
@ravenwind43 Exactly...

@SW-User It is their right to believe in fantasies, yet it is my right to speak out against their fantasies, and for the truth.
SW-User
@JoyfulSilence And religious peoples right to call you a liar...
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
@SW-User Yet according to CT religious people might get arrested for calling atheists liars!
SW-User
@JoyfulSilence Freedom is freedom! Freedom of speech is feeedom of speech! What’s good for one is good for the other and I’m done here. ✅
