New Muslim congresswoman will seek to allow religious headwear in the House

Use reason, change your mind.

 

Why? It's a stupid rule. Go ahead....defend it

 

Use your reason. Religion has no business in politics; just as politics has no business in religion.

 

So you agree Christians shouldnt be able to wear a cross on their necklace for example?

 

In any capacity as a government official? No.

 

I am pretty sure the response from every single woman would simply be.

F*ck off.

 

Possible, I just think people make to big a deal about the small stuff. As a atheist I couldn't care less.

 

Really? These Islam hating trolls it will hurt hard, or not?

 

As an atheist, I’m appalled—-religion sticking its dirty nose where it doesn’t belong.

 

That's the usual reaction we A's have.
I just don't see the point. I have plenty of my own problems to think about.

 

I oppose any representation of religion and religious affiliations in Congress. I object to any wearing or display of a cross, a quote, a yarmulka, a turban, headscarf, etc. Such things only serve to draw attention to them, and that is inappropriate in Congress.

 

I could explain it, but like you, though in a different way, "I don't see the point".

 

Get rid of the prayer before Congress first then

 

Agreed, and the Bible they swear on—better they swear on the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence.

 

Get rid of that then circle back on this. Good luck

 

She's free to wear it all the time except when she's executing her duties as a Congresswoman and getting paid to do so.

 

Stupid rule. Change it

 

Not public employees on the clock in Congress.

 

That would mean allowing public displays of religious symbols on public property, still want to change it?

 

No it would not

 

There is no instance where women or anyone else is compelled to wear any Christian sign. Christian signs are not associated with the repression of women. There is no place people are attacked for not wearing a Christian sign. Christians do not regard women as being half as important as men. Women in western culture are not treated as subordinate to men.
All this is not to defend nor promote Christianity; it is to refute comparisons to the symbol this person wishes to exhibit in the halls of American legislature.

 

I'm pretty sure I understand where you're coming from and I understand the logic, it makes sense to me.
But I only have so much space in my head...lol

 

Are you suggesting that only Muslims Should have the ability to practice their religion curtailed, but christians should be left alone?

 

No suggestion involved at all.
I am stating that direct, obvious, brain-washed oppression of women must be resisted until it is eliminated.
That's not feminism, not left, not right...there must be more that it is not.
It is vehement support of my sisters and the welfare of the female spirit.

 

So your against freedom of religion for anyone but christians. Got it.
