But what if your religion mandates proselytizing? Or your religion
mandates
imposing your rules on infidels?

If I were a Christian and the government said I couldn't participate in
the
Eucharist or (if Catholic) I couldn't go to Confession or join a Holy
Order,
I'd be a tad disappointed. If I were a Muslim woman and the authorities
said
I had rights, my husband would be upset.

I understand there's a difference between proselytizing on a front porch
and
passing out tracts in the schoolroom, but, to the religious person, the
venue is irrelevant.

I, personally, would like to see the public schools offer, say, an
hour's
worth of religious instruction per week. The teaching could be done by
experienced lay people and, when the bell rings, kids would decamp to
the
room housing their preferred denomination: Baptist, Catholic, Muslim,
Jew,
Buddhist, Undeclared, Whatever. Moreover, kids could rotate between the
groups thereby gaining an understanding of those poor *******s doomed to
Hell.

Everyone has the right to free speech, but it doesn't give someone the
right to yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater. She does have the
right to honk her horn, but excessive honking is disturbing the peace,
which is against the law. Who in the hell owns a rooster in a
neighborhood anyway? She needs to move to the country!

A rooster is no worse than some of the damned dogs that are left out all
night and if they are properly penned up, they won't be taken for walks to
crap all over you lawn.
