Yeah.
Make churches abide by civil rights legislation!
Make them pay taxes!
<end sarcasm>

What you mean to say is that you want a one-way wall. Where state is prohibited from interfering with the church, but the church is free to interfere with the state.



They still have the freedom to exercise their religion.
They just can't use the government as a part of it.



That's a laugh.
A guy gets arrested in a VA hospital for DRINKING COFFEE and wearing a t-shirt that some don't agree with politically, and you start talking about the "problem" being people not "peacefully" assembling.



Then arrest those INDIVIDUALS.
But don't pretend they are indicative of the whole. They aren't.
The right has been FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE in curbing the freedom of speech of the left than the left has been actually committing violence in "free speech" name for these "peaceful protests".
You can't make churches pay taxes if there is separation of church and state.

I disagree strongly with your last statement. You can protest. What you cannot do is disturb people who are going about the lives. That is what the left does. I guess you never seen what the left did in Seattle during their "protest". Store windows smashed, looted, streets trashed. Nice. What violence does the right do?
