Never posted in here before, but saw something on my Facebook feed that I thought would provoke some interesting - and entertaining - debate.

Under no circumstances should participation in a lifestyle be compulsory. 

....okay under [i]only a very few[/i] circumstances should participation in a lifestyle be compulsory. There's such a thing as a "right time" for, like, the draft. This is not one of those special circumstances. And it's actually spelled out pretty clearly in the first amendment:

[quote]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, [b]or prohibiting the free exercise thereof[/b]; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[/quote]

I've bolded the part which should pretty clearly rule out "you must do things you consider murder." Certainly the first portion applies as well -- congress shouldn't be banning abortions on religious or moral grounds either, but I digress. Compulsory homicide is the thing we're talking about. That.... doesn't sound like we even need to have a conversation about it, but I'll run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.
