"In every generation, we are to tell this story as though we ourselves are coming out of Egypt. That means that we pretend that we are not just telling the story, but authoring it, choosing where to put the emphasis and deciding what the different characters mean."

@wdlindsy How about we “separate” from ALL religions & tax ALL churches.

@donhawkins Do you think that on a day regarded by many of our fellow citizens as a holy day going on the attack against religion will provide a convincing argument for those fellow citizens to reconsider their religious affiliation? Or do you think that because you're anti-religion you have free license to be aggressive, hostile, and uncivil to fellow human beings? Just asking for many friends.

@wdlindsy Are you and they opposed to the first amendment of the US Constitution, or do you believe it is reserved for some privileged class? My comment stands.

@wdlindsy this is not the appeal you think it is

today is my religious holy day of free speech.

i thought this was a thread about disentangling religions from states, not falling back to an appeal to not talk about it because of one religion's specific holiday falling on today.

frankly your reply to don left a real "holier than thou, do you know who i am, respect ma authoritah" taste in my mouth
