If taken to the limit the world you describe is chaos. YOu just about can not find anything written, that does not irritate or offend someone.
I'm not talking about irritating or offending, I'm talking about freedom of religion. Yes, people get irritated and offended over every little thing. We can't cater to the squeeky wheel with a thin skin, but we can acknowledge equal freedom of religion for everyone as the Constitution says.
you do not see people down at the local Baptist Church lining up the non believers and herding them into church on Sunday.
Nope, only insisting on the Pledge in schools.
The pendulum swung to far when the efforts to equalize rights for all became a quota or guarantee.
As for guarantees, you bet I expect a guarantee of freedom of religion, whatever the religion. The Constitution says so. As for quotas, good grief! We're not talking about affirmative action here. It's about providing an environment that is supportive of all spiritualities, not just Christianity. This is about open-mindedness, not quotas.
I think Christians were too complacent for too long and now you are seeing us push back, because the vocal few are seeking to enforce their view of morality and acceptability on the majority.
Might makes right, I guess.
We are seeking to find politicians that share our values to ensure that they are not undermined by the "If it feels good, I ought to be able to do it" crowd.
You seem to be equating "if it feels good" with non-Christians and values with Christians. No wonder you're so intent that this should be a Christian nation. The most polite and constructive thing I can think of to say about that is...well, hold on, I'm trying. How about this: if you want to restore values, you're missing a lot of potential partners if you exclude non-Christians. I'll stop there. |
