No they can have such rights as long as they let me have my right to
my own freedom of religious conscience, I am glad to work with them
and share with them what they have as long as they let me share what I
believe. If they deny me such a right then do unto others as they do
unto you, would seem to fit. I see them no I having that problem and
I believe if you re-read what I did say, you would see that. I am
replying to what the other guy said and so my reply was limited to his
statements, so I do not see any reason to even think I would deny
people the freedom to have or not have a religious feeling. If I did
not answer your question, please restate it and I will try to do
better in my reply.
