Re: Manila Standard Op-Ed: The Right to Faith

So, if a person were to organize a religion, and among it's "religious
views" were approval of child abuse, or drug use, or corporal punishment,
the Philippine Supreme Court would come down on the side of "it's a free
country"? They have just replaced the constitution, laws, regulations, and
replaced them with the bible, koran, and the book of moron.

This doesn't open doors. It takes down every law, rule, regulation, etc.
nationwide.

BY ruling in favor of a woman who was living with a man without the
benefit of marriage, the Supreme Court affirmed the exercise of
religion, and stressed that this is a free country.

With the plurality of religions comes the plurality of actions and
views. Punishing Muslim men for having four wives, or sanctioning
conservative Mormons for continuing to practice plural marriages is
tantamount to asserting an imagined supremacy of paradigm.
