Repeal Religious Tolerance!

What will become of theocracies? Also, opposing any war fought in the name of God or religion directly contradicts religious freedom, doesn't it? Jihad immediately comes to mind specifically, but it can apply generally.

If your religion tells you to impose your will on others, it must be respected as part of religious tolerance. While I believe in religious tolerance to an extent, it is another thing that can not be forced.

Let nations choose whether to allow religious freedom.

If you believe that nations have a right to choose their direction, then what's the point of the UN?

Oh yeah, I forgot, the UN is for hippies to turn the NS world a deep shade of Red.

If there was no Religious Tolerance, then the world would be in a constant shape of war. But how are the peoples to tell what is a Holy War and what is being claimed as a Holy War? Let the U.N. decide on the matter. Personally, if I wanted to go to war with someone, I wouldnt need a religious diety to hide behind and claim that they had directed me. War, and causing suffering, oppression and death in the name of a higher power for personal gain is for cowards. I dont need any Holy help for that.

A very good point is being made - if freedom of speech can't affect anyone, why should it exist?

This might constitute a good issue for debate.
