Founders Morning Quote

"[R]eligion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and this is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other."

--Virginia Bill of Rights, Article 16, June 12, 1776

Oh snap - here is another example of Anonymous' non-existant guarantee of freedom of religion as written by Founding Father George Mason!

  • Oh good Lord. You started out talking about the United States Constitution, I pointed out that the Bill of Rights was ratified four years later, and all of a sudden you proclaim that it's actually the Virginia state constitution that you were talking about all along!
