More idiotic blather on your part. Read carefully:

NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.

and if that still hasn't sunk in, then for good measure:

NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.

Please stop with that idiotic statement. It degrades you.


> And you take it far past the point where it infringes with my rights.

and again:

NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.

What you DON'T have the right to do is to:

(1) Have MY taxes pay for YOUR religion
and
(2) Put YOUR religious display on MY property.

Since PUBLIC land is, by definition, owned by EVERYONE, then putting YOUR
religious display on PUBLIC property is putting it on MY property as well as
on YOUR property. I object strenuously to YOUR desire to violate MY
religious rights by putting it on MY property. Put it on property that I
have NO stake in, so long as the owner consents.

Get it? If not, then:

NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
NO ONE IS PREVENTING YOU FROM PRACTICING YOUR RELIGION.
