Right, but I don't care about interregional strife, I want to know why I shouldn't be allowed to enter office. Why does my lack of belief in God stop me from serving people well?
The civil war was a tragedy, the states should have remained the predominant authority in peoples lives.
If I entered office I would make 0 religious mandates or policies surrounding religion, with the exception of abolishing any laws that would prevent you from practicing your religion as you please.
The civil war is history, do you have anything recent?
You won't do the things that are in favor of the nation
calexit
What does that mean?
What is, and isn't, "in favour of the nation?"
For a Christian nation you would not be interested in keeping other minority religious groups out.
Sure, I wouldn't. The social order is free to assemble itself, the state shouldn't be involved.
On principle you would have no problem with a mosque being built in the community
Correct!
As long as a church can also be built.
This is why, you don't have the nation in mind
Sure, now why is that bad?
You are undermining the nation, breaking down its identity, and devolving what it means to be a part of it. This is why you Canadians are such cucks, you can't see why your own nation is falling apart. You have no sense of self preservation.
No, not really and I can get to why exactly in a moment. But the first bit is just a reactionary, moral, and emotional statement. Justify it.
Look at Canada, and every western nation, this insistence on liberal secularism is a complete failure.
But that's not what I'm advocating for. I want to abolish all social programs and strengthen the borders.
@The Big Oof still think I'm a lolbert?
Yeah, I want those things too
But I don't want a shitty law that stops me from entering office just because I'm an Athiest. Why can't we be free religiously?
The individuals can be free to worship however they please.
☭ ☭ ☭
But they can't enter office? And they can't build a religious temple?
That's not "free to worship" that's "free to be fucked over."
Honestly the building of religious buildings should fall under the authority of local government, not state, federal, etc.
It should fall under the authority of people and whether or not they can acquire the land.
Why does the state need to enter the equation?
I chose a mosque for a specific reason
They do religious calls to prayer that aren't restricted to their premises
They can call to prayer wherever they like.
They can pray wherever
But making a call to prayer that goes out over entire communities is different
_Why?_
These discussions always go back to why. I don't want a surface level, "because it's bad" or "muh feels." Something substantive, deeper.
When they are not in a specifically muslim community it is an imposition of their religious practice on others
They can't enter another's land against their will... I agree with you there. But if by "community" you mean a town owned by the state, these Muslims can do whatever.
and if they have built a large enough community inside another nation to warrant having a mosque to serve them, then you have the problem of minority communities
Minority communities can do whatever, my only problem is when the state starts pandering.
