a reference
I think it would be appropriate for you to copy the quote and link to the post.
Things are on the edge of being a bit heated. You might want to simply point to the facts and not make any assertions at all.
(yea, yeas, this is not a moderated forum, but maybe this will help)

Re: ADMIN REQUEST
I don't think we have ever had a policity of ruling in this manner. However, I would give my personal opinion to the best of my ability.
If you are clear on what you post then it should be apparent that you are right if that is the case.
It is, in any case, probably a good time for a summary of what we have so far and what is still under discussion. This is something that should be done in a lot of threads.

RIghts being eroded.
I am trying to find the specific rights you are referring to in your post. Here is what I come up with:
1) Christian symbols being disallowed on federal government property.
2) Disallowing the use of peyote in religious cerimonies.
3) The discussed but unexecuted change in tax exemption for churchs
4) The possible use of anti terriorist measures against churchs.
What I see is that 3 and 4 may be a possible future erosion but haven't happened.
Would you agree that 1 and 2 are the ones your are putting forward as eroded rights? Did I miss any?

How very helpful.
Were those points the ones you made or not? The rant doesn't help futher the conversation at all. If something is left out you can point that out.
Are those the examples you are talking about or not?
