Daily Kos writers seeks legal action to “End Organized Religion”
This story serves as a sad reminder that there really are crazies out there who wish to banish the Church back into the catechombs.
Tim Graham at Newsbusters calls this out for what it is:
“For all the daily talk on the Daily Kos that conservatives are dictatorial, their cast of bloggers isn’t without grand designs for social control. Take this post: “Time to begin working for the death of religion (a rant).” The diarist “BlueMoon” expressed no attempt to disrupt free speech, but the “end of organized religion” must be attempted.” [Read more at NewsBusters.]
I can’t even begin to imagine the waves that would be generated if a church said that legal action should be pursued to eliminate the expression of progressive-liberalism. That’s because Christians believe in free speech, and in freedom in general.
More to the point, we believe in religious freedom, which this writer in the Daily Kos clearly does not.

It’s not just that we believe religious freedom is a good thing. Real Catholics know that the Catholic Church is the ONLY source of undivided Truth. And the only way to demonstrate this is through robust debate.
Freedom always benefits the work of Christ and man’s universal mission to spread the gospel.
But for man made religions, dialogue and debate expose flaws, deficiencies, and man made origins and prompt a person to convert to solid ground.
“t would be thrown out of court *so fast* it would probably set a new record! 
”
Don’t be too sure. I felt that way about the recent university case (actually there are two going on; I’m speaking of the first) where the courts just ruled (in the last few days, I think) that someone going for an MA in counseling had to accept brainwashing – oops, I think they are calling it “re-education” because she thinks gender is NOT, as with post-modern theory, a “social construct” but a biological fact, and she opposes homosexuality. I assumed any court in the land would be on her side but I was wrong. They are allowing the long arm of the law to reach into the deepest recesses of one’s heart and conscience. Unbelievable.
I’m sure Satan must be pretty frustrated that the Church has still not folded up and died. Thus screeching outbursts from time to time are to be expected.
Well, they’re doing their best to change the courts.
Another display of “tolerance” from the Democrats.
Heh, heh… I would dearly like to see them try!

“That’s because Christians believe in free speech, and in freedom in general.”
“Freedom” of the type that Christians defend is not “freedom” as the secular world understands it. Freedom is the ability to fulfill God’s will for you, and in respecting your freedom, I have to bear in mind that to a large extent neither you nor I know what God’s will for you might be. We do, or should, know some things that God’s will does NOT include — adultery, murder, theft, blasphemy, slander, etc. Thus the prohibition against slander and blasphemy are not limits to your freedom; they’re some of the few things we can be sure your freedom never included. Again, this is NOT how secularists see freedom.
From a Christian perspective, does anyone have the freedom to advocate contraception, abortion, gay marriage, etc.? Not really! There may be prudent reasons for allowing such advocacy, but if (as we papists maintain) such advocacy is sinful, it is not truly a freedom.
