That's a load of crap. You don't "want" someone to make up a faith. Yes, you *can* just make up a faith. It happens all the time.
When and where did you get your law degree?

Does scientology get recognized by the government?
I believe after a long legal battle they did.
Santorum comes out and states it's a two way street for tolerance
Uses example of a gay print shop owner being asked to make tshirts that state "God hates fags".
I don't think he understands freedom of speech and discrimination. While that phrase would probably bother the owner, it's not in the same fucking league.
Why is this so hard to understand?

This out-loud ignorance on the right is absolutely infuriating.

Not disagreeing with you, but Rick Santorum is a complete dumbass in his own right, regardless of party affiliation.
When and where did you get your law degree?
1) What anitram said.
2) Do these religions get recognized by the government?
you are not completely right
I think you are thinking of people like this
Indiana's Church of Cannabis Growing Like a Weed - US News
to be a fully recognized religion involves a lot more than being a start up
people have started religions claiming "donations and sex" were their sacrament to get around prostitution laws, without success.
Let me expand on that last part. I HATE the shellfish example. It's snide and it takes about two minutes of research to prove it's irrelevance to the conversatuon.
A MUCH better example is adultery. Possibly the BEST example, as I think Jesus may have even spoken on the subject. Even if he didn't, Paul did, and that's the important part.
The idea that homosexuality is still part of the old law to acknowledge comes from the fact that Paul mentions it. Most Christian beliefs come from Jesus, Peter and Paul. Paul is the one who excuses the old laws about food, to a larger extent playing off if Jesus' own message about the fulfillment of the law. Adultry, on the other hand, is not part of the law, it's a commandment. Jesus is very specific about keeping the commandments. So if you buy into one sin being 'worse' than another (I don't ), adultery is by far the worse sin.
So I just find that the shellfish argument hurts the conversation, not helps. But that's just, like, my opinion.
