Freedom Of Expression: It 's List Of Endangered Species

"Congress shall make law respecting establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise to deprive, or freedom of speech or the press or the people's right to assemble peaceably and petition the government abuses."



These are the words of our parents. The idea was good, but one thing that these very intelligent men are not taken into account: human nature. The idea of ​​freedom of expression is not new and not full of spring in the front and the authors of the Constitution. Athens, hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, people have every right to freedom of expression. This has been the case in many cultures for some time, but ended up at the same time, the Christian Church took over Rome during the 5th century and 6. One of the main reasons why the period from 600 AD to 1500 AD has been called the "Dark Ages" because the Church of anger and psychological research, it has been. The rise of Protestantism does not really change much, when Parliament was to move the Declaration of Freedom 1621, due to restrictions on speech of the protesters Jacques I. King, who was a staunch supporter of the Puritans.

Of course, organized religion is not known for freedom of expression. Freedom of expression in the claims, and education that is solid as a rock, in particular, the two sects, which calls into question God (translation: the question of the church) is a mortal sin, lack of faith, and is punishable by an eternity of hell and death, excommunication, ostracism and on earth.

James Madison ( the original text of the First Amendment of the Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789))



Now we find our citizens were abandoned by the faithful who are looking for government (and control) of wolves in sheep's clothing. We had a president who spent eight years to strip the rights of "U.S. citizens, by removing public support for people who need help to transform the" faith-based office "effective use of control The Church of all social programs, all while telling the public that all its activities are guided by the Christian Bible.



We tend to forget that people are people and not everyone has the same agenda. It's a great concept for people who really believe in freedom. We have many people with religious programs, social and economic factors that have nothing to do with freedom of others. We are witnessing a massive effort of people in government and media to keep us divided over trivial matters, and that slowly rob us of our rights. There is very little freedom of expression on the left



We are taught in school that the Puritans fleeing religious persecution in Europe to seek religious freedom (when the witch hunt with them), but the fact is they were expelled from England and take a lot of friction in the English Civil War correspondent. Intellectualism and the struggle for civil rights in Europe had to fight organized religion in all phases of means.
