As a Christian statesman, rather than churchman, I would claim that New York Christians can freely exercise their constitutional and God-given rights to free religious speech and free exercise of religion within both church and state assemblies here in New York State. Although there may be a few posters on this political forum who may disagree with, and object to, such a Christian political claim in their state and city government, I am willing to argue and prove that they would have no more right to speak freely in government than a Christian statesman does, if they deny him his God-given and constitutional right to speak religiously and to exercise and express his religious beliefs and opinions in NYS government.
