In a sense, yes.

You're fucking joking, right? Why the fuck do you have the right to tell other people who they can and can't worship?

Actually, yes it does. Radiation and other chemicals changes DNA, along with coding, transcribing and translating errors. Most of the time, these are caught by some of the 'editing' processes in the cell. However, some of these cells normally either self destruct, or the process is irrelevant because 90% of our DNA doesn't actually code for anything important. But you know cancer? That is when DNA has changed so much within a cell that it grows rapidly without stopping, which is why it is nearly impossible to stop.

Also disregarding that banning religion in the past, has failed to eliminate it.

DNA in itself does not change.

I think that that would be more to the point.

Talking about 'rights' about telling people what they can and can't worship stopped when we started banning traditional drug use from Native American rituals.

Yes, it does. The telomeres shorten, and eventually, run out. That's why you die and age even if you stayed healthy your entire life. If DNA didn't change, we could live for fucking ever.

Dude, the sheer existence of cancer renders your argument as irrelevant.

To be fair, there may be other causes than just telomeres. But they mostly involve changes to DNA anyway.

It is only transforming, not changing.

Now ''the freedom of getting high'' is the real civil rights battle.

It was the only example that I could think of off the top of my head, but there are probably better ones in the scientific literature.

Whenever anybody says to respect my religion I ask them to respect my right to human sacrifice. And I then ask them to volunteer for a human sacrifice. And if they say no, I inform them that they are impeding on my religious rights and disrespecting my religion, the penalty for which is... death via sacrificial dagger.
