You don't see a difference between the state removing your literal freedom vs not being allowed to be on a committee or a board? It seems like any reasonable person should understand that, making such arguments deliberately disingenuous. I would also note that redemption requires real reflection, penance, and so forth. Paying some kind of price. Crying that you're being unfairly persecuted isn't the same thing. I think the discussion you want to have might belong to different posts than this one.
