Republicans in Congress who remain quiet or tacitly supportive of the ban should recognize that history will remember them as cowards. There may be no one better positioned to force a suspension of this policy than Mr. Trump’s secretary of defense, Jim Mattis. Mr. Mattis was cleareyed about the dangers of a proposed Muslim ban during the election, saying that American allies were reasonably wondering if “we have lost faith in reason.” He added: “This kind of thing is causing us great damage right now, and it’s sending shock waves through this international system.” His silence now is alarming to all who admire his commitment to American security. Mr. Mattis and other senior government officials who know better cannot lend their names to this travesty. Doing so would do more than tarnish their professional reputations. It would make them complicit in abdicating American values and endangering their fellow citizens.

Tideglider already showed you were wrong. As usual. What was significant about this is that a cranky anti-religious atheist recognized his worldview led to nihilism, unhappiness, depression, and insanity. You seem to have missed the point so here it is again: This led him to the realization that atheism was philosophically bankrupt. It supplied life with no meaning whatsoever, and could not provide a rational foundation for the objective moral standard inherent to him and his fellow human beings. This so impacted Rossiter that he sought out psychiatric counseling. After finding a counselor he discovered that he was in fact a Christian. This interested him since it seemed that an intellectual could believe in God and find such a belief both rational and compelling. This was the little nudge Rossiter needed to get him to cross the boundary. He subsequently rejected his atheistic view of science and morality, and eventually become a Christ follower. Taking this big step urged him to begin reading other books written by intellectual Christians who believed in God specifically from a scientific point of view. Rossiter’s book tells of his personal story and transition.
