Realize that, yes, they are denied important freedoms vital to their existence. Freedoms like: 1) the right to impose one's views on other people because it says that things should be a certain way in the Bible 2) the right to squelch opposing views that are detrimental to their benevolent (?) control of society (for its own good, of course) 3) the right to shut groups of people out of society because they do not adhere to their code of "ethics" Aren't these freedoms guaranteed to them under the Constitution? Could someone remind me which amendment it was? One that hasn't been passed yet? :-) Rich
