We are supposed to respect every religion but what if that religion believes in human sacrifice as does Judiasm, Islam, and Christianity and others? hmmmmmmm what does that say about the first amendment?
Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment wikipedia
EXCERPT:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... ”
In 1878, the Supreme Court was first called to interpret the extent of the Free Exercise Clause in Reynolds v. United States, as related to the prosecution of polygamy under federal law. The Supreme Court upheld Mr. Reynolds' conviction for bigamy, deciding that to do otherwise would provide constitutional protection for a gamut of religious beliefs, including those as extreme as human sacrifice. The Court said (at page 162): "Congress cannot pass a law for the government of the Territory which shall prohibit the free exercise of religion. The first amendment to the Constitution expressly forbids such legislation." Of federal territorial laws, the Court said: "Laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious beliefs and opinions, they may with practices."
Jehovah's Witnesses were often the target of such restriction. Several cases involving the Witnesses gave the Court the opportunity to rule on the application of the Free Exercise Clause. Subsequently, the Warren Court adopted an expansive view of the clause, the "compelling interest" doctrine (whereby a state must show a compelling interest in restricting religion-related activities), but later decisions have reduced the scope of this interpretation.
Reynolds v. United States
EXCERPT:
The Mormons, believing that the law unconstitutionally deprived them of their First Amendment right to freely practice their religion, chose to ignore Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act at the time. On the other hand, in subsequent years, efforts had been underway to strengthen the anti-bigamy laws. Eventually, amid the efforts to indict the LDS leadership for bigamy, the First Presidency agreed to furnish a defendant in a test case to be brought before the United States Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of the anti-bigamy law. Reynolds, a secretary in the office of the President of the Church, agreed to serve as the defendant, then provided the attorney numerous witnesses who could testify of his being married to two wives, and was indicted for bigamy by a grand jury on October 23, 1874. In 1875, Reynolds was convicted and sentenced to two years hard labor in prison and a fine of five hundred dollars. In 1876 the Utah Territorial Supreme Court upheld the sentence.
Previously, U.S. Attorney William Carey promised to stop his attempts to indict general authorities during the test case. However when Carey failed keep his promise and arrested George Q. Cannon, the LDS church leaders decided that they would no longer cooperate with him. Reynolds v. United States appeal. [1])
Death of Kenneth Pinyan wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Death
Prosecutors later determined that the horse, an Arabian stallion, had not been injured by being allowed to engage in sex in this manner. The photographer, 54-year-old James Michael Tait of Enumclaw,[9] was later charged with trespassing, since this act took place on a third party's property. A third man alleged to have been present was not charged. According to the Medical Examiner's Office, Pinyan "died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon",[10] and the death was ruled accidental.[11]
Other factors surrounding the death were apparently that the deceased, concerned about appearing in a hospital with an unusual internal injury and the effect on his security clearance as an engineer for aerospace company Boeing, had apparently refused his friends' urging to go to the hospital for several hours after being aware he was internally injured, and was dead when he finally reached the ER.[10]
Media reports at the time of the trial suggested that despite seizing and examining carefully a large number of such videos from the property, no evidence of injury to the horses was found, precluding animal cruelty charges, and that the trespass charge against Tait were brought due to lack of grounds for any other matter:
This is a very perverted video and very real, if you don't have the stomach for it, please don't watch it. (I just wanted to show it as I think people ought to be aware of what goes on in the 'REAL' world with the elites in charge.) I was especially interested when I read what this guy did for a living. Hmmmmmmmm, he worked at Boeing???

First Amendment
EXCERPT:
Public schools may not inculcate nor inhibit religion. They must be places where religion and religious conviction are treated with fairness and respect.
Public schools uphold the First Amendment when they protect the religious-liberty rights of students of all faiths or none. Schools demonstrate fairness when they ensure that the curriculum includes study about religion as an important part of a complete education.
Animal sacrifice in America
by Brandon Bosworth January 02, 2010 03:37 PM (PT) Topics: Animal Abuse
On Sunday, December 27, the bodies of hundreds of animals were found in a Philadelphia home. Among the dead were cats, dogs, deer, sheep, goats, and turtles. The animals are believed to have been killed as part of some sort of Santeria rituals. According to the UPI, George Bengal of the Pennsylvania SPCA said Santeria cultists "usually take the skull and the feet and the blood and drain the blood from the animal. They'll drink the blood and use the skull and feet as part of the altar." In addition to the staggering number of animal corpses, two emaciated dogs and an AK-47 were found on the property.
The owner of the home -- rumored to currently be in Mexico -- has not been found. What punishment awaits those responsible for the slaughter of countless animals in the name of religion? Hardly any punishment at all. The caretaker of the two abused dogs faces citations related to lack of veterinary care and unsanitary confinement. Each citation -- two for each dog -- carries a $750 fine. If it can be proven that cats and dogs were killed, then there may be misdemeanor animal-cruelty charges.
For the most part, animal sacrifice is perfectly legal in the U.S. In 1993, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. Hialeah that sacrificing animals in the name of religion is protected under the First Amendment. It was a unanimous decision. Efforts to curb or restrict animal sacrifice have not been particularly successful in the wake of the 1993 verdict. For example, in the summer of 2009 the right of a Texas Santeria priest to sacrifice animals (usually goats) was upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. According to the Santeria practitioner in the case, Jose Merced, "You cannot do initiations without an animal with four legs. You cannot do it with just chickens. Without that, the religion ceases to exist."
Santeria is certainly not the only religion to feature animal sacrifice. The Old Testament of Jews and Christians contains frequent references to killing animals in God's name. Some Muslims sacrifice a sheep to mark the end of the Hajj. Hindus in Nepal recently slaughtered 200,000 buffaloes, goats, chickens and pigeons as part of a religious festival honoring one of their deities. Yet is all this killing and bloodshed morally acceptable just because religion is involved?
In some Chinese Taoist folk tales, after death a person is confronted with the spirits of all the living things -- both animal and human -- he or she harmed in life. These spirits sit in judgement of the deceased. That is a spiritual tradition I can accept, not one in which "the religion ceases to exist" without killing.
Human sacrifice
EXCERPT:
Christianity
In the Christian religion the belief developed that the story of Isaac's binding and of Jepthah's virgin daughter were foreshadowing for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and whose sacrifice and resurrection allowed the sins of mankind to be washed away. There is a tradition that the site of the binding of Isaac, Moriah, was also the city of Jesus's future crucifixion.[69]
The beliefs of most denominations of Christianity hinge upon a single, specific human sacrifice: that of Christ. Christians believe that in order to gain access to paradise in the afterlife each individual person must somehow become a partaker in that all-important human sacrifice for the atonement of their personal sins. Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians believe that they participate in the sacrifice of Calvary through the Eucharist, which they believe is really the body and blood of Jesus Christ that they eat and drink.[70][71] Many Protestants, however, reject this, and believe rather that the bread and wine of communion are merely symbolic. Although early Christians in the Roman Empire were accused of being cannibals,[72] practices such as human sacrifice were abhorrent to them.[73]
Did God sacrifice Jesus (that must mean he believed in human sacrifice then, eh?)
EXCERPT:
Jesus our High Priest forevermore died so we could be set free from eternal death. God saw fit to make the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ, as a seed sown for the harvest of our souls for eternity and so we could be redeemed into the family of God.
Sacrifice Israel
EXCERPT:
Final thought
Theistic religions in one way or another were founded upon ritualized murder. What made children susceptible to sacrifice, was their virginity and their innocence. This concept is embedded in Judaism and Christianity to this day.
Paradoxically, child sacrifice ended when Judah was captured by the hated Babylonians in 586 BCE. Jews don't practice their canonical obligation to sacrifice anymore, but there is still one remaining legacy where they celebrate child sacrifice every year. And that is the Passover when Yahweh killed firstborn Egyptians and their firstborn livestock. To ease their conscience they label it as their release from Egyptian bondage.
24You shall observe this rite as an ordinance for you and for your sons for ever.
25And when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.
26And when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?'
27you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he slew the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. (Ex. 12:24-27)
Christians may feel that their religion is above such barbarous practices. That is only because they have been dulled into ignoring the immorality of the torturous sacrifice of one innocent man.

BLM DENIES FULL PUBLIC ACCESS TO CALICO ROUNDUP & SPOON FEEDS GLIMPSES OF DEATHS/SUFFERING
Throughout the entire Calico Complex roundup the BLM refused to provide appropriate public access to observe and document this multi-million-dollar government operation. The BLM often omitted information reporting whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. The public had absolutely no way to verify any of the information provided and the BLM made sure of that by confining public viewing to a few hours three days a week (many of these "public observation days" were canceled and never rescheduled). Now the BLM is indicating that public visits to the multi-million-dollar contracted holding facility on Indian Lakes Road will end.
The video to the right shows Don Glenn, director of BLM Wild Horse & Burro program, repeatedly stating on Dec 7, 2009 that full public observation of roundups ("gathers") would be provided:
"All of our gathers are open to the public ... if we had hundreds of thousands of people wanting to come out and watch a gather we'd have to manage that situation ... If the public or the press wants to observe a gather, they just need to get a hold of us and tell us that they want to observe a gather and we'll accommodate them ... they can come and observe the gather for the whole time ... we will accommodate them."

NOTICE THE DATE
El Paso Corp. August, 2001
EXCERPT:
In their second allegation, authorities claim that the company withheld pipeline capacity into California to jack up prices illegally; a judge's ruling is expected in October. Regulators note that spot prices for natural gas in Southern California spiked to more than double national spot rates. "A big reason for the increase in consumers' electricity bills is because El Paso manipulated prices at the California border," alleges Harvey Y. Morris, the state utilities commission attorney arguing the case before FERC.
El Paso Corporation
EXCERPT:
The Ruby Pipeline is owned by El Paso Corporation who are no strangers from scandal and legal proceedings. In August, 2006 the company was involved in a securities fraud claim resulting in fines and restitutions amounting to $285,000,000. Shortly after the suicide of Enron executive Clifford Baxter, who had been in the middle of being questioned about El Paso Corporation, another executive Charles Rice was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head. Authorities labeled Rice's death as a suicide also. El Paso paid 15.5 million dollars to the State of California to settle the Enron scandal claiming that El Paso had manipulated power sources and prices in California.
The El Paso Corporation was fined 2.3 million, the largest fine ever levied against a pipeline company for the 2006 accident and death of Bobby Ray Ownens, Jr. of Louisiana. Owens was a bulldozer operator working in the Rockies Express Pipeline when his machinery struck a buried 36" natural gas pipeline owned by El Paso Corporation. Owens was killed, and the explosion and fire devoured 600 acres. An investigation revealed that federal requirements which require pipelines to be specifically marked as to location to provide protection for American workers had not been done.
The list of complaints continue from non-compliance with New Jersey's Air Pollution Control Act with a fine of 1.1 million dollars to complaints in Kentucy for releasing PCBs without permits.
So how much are the wild horses really impacting the environment as the BLM contends? Ginger Kathrens, Executive Director of The Cloud Foundation states, " The BLM is spending more than $30 million dollars to quickly eradicate an irreplaceable piece of American living history. I ask myself, what's the rush? Is it only pressure from ranchers? Does the BLM fear the ROAM Act will pass? Is it to clear the land for the Ruby Pipeline project, or is it something else?

An Associated Press analysis has found that more than half of the federal judges in districts where the bulk of Gulf oil spill-related lawsuits are pending have financial connections to the oil and gas industry. This could complicate the task of finding judges without conflicts to hear the cases.

Ruby Pipeline Wins Fed Approval to Move Rockies NG to West Coast Markets
April 6th, 2010 • Filed Under
Feds Recommend Approval of Two
Reported by Staff
The multi-billion dollar Ruby Pipeline natural gas project from Wyoming to the West Coast has won approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, according to an announcement by El Paso Corporation.
The project has received support from several state administrations in the Rocky Mountain region, which have cited the acute need to enhance infrastructure for moving natural gas to domestic markets.
The Ruby Pipeline runs nearly 700 miles between a natural gas hub at Opal, Wyoming and a connection point close to the Oregon-California border. The 42-inch diameter pipeline has enough capacity to handle the movement of up to 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas on a daily basis. El Paso said it’s still waiting for right-of-way approval from the BLM, but expects construction to start within a few months with completion expected in March 2011.
Several major energy companies operating in Colorado have already signed agreements to ship natural gas on the pipeline, including Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Barry Petroleum Company, Antero Resources Piceance Corp., BP Energy Company, Shell Energy North America, Marathon Oil Co. and Bill Barrett Corp. A major investor in the project is Connecticut-based Global Infrastructure Partners, which could pony up as much as $700 million in the Ruby Pipeline project, when all is said and done.
