or just religion? I drive a big 2007 Dodge Ram. I do not like people telling me I should drive something else. I shoot guns and hunt, I do not think that I should be told that I am not "Democrat Enough" because I am all for an armed citizenry.

I leave the religious to their beliefs. If they chose to worship fervently I am free not to. I am not gauranteed a right to live free from knowing that religion exists. As a Democrat I am do not have a right to live without ever having to lay eyes upon a "Vote McCain" sign and no Republican has a right to live free from ever seeing an "Obama '08" sticker. Whenever someone has a right others are not free from being exposed to people exercising that right.

People who do not agree and are actually offended by even the thought of Gay Marriage will have to live with the fact that it exists and will have to be exposed to it. I believe that applys to everyone.

If someone from the pulpit demands that women cover their head or not wear short skirts, my wife does not have to follow that decree. Same thing with someone on the other side demanding that everyone driving a large truck should trade it in for a hybird. They can say it, I can choose not to do it. My rights do not trump anyone else's. Not even the rights of misguided Republicans.
