| Ok, at the risk of offending right from the get go ... Umm ... was that article reprinted with permission? ... Just checking ...
Actually, I just wanted to point that out because I may decide one day to do likewise, and I need clarification upfront ... Is attribution sufficient? ... Or, do we need prior consent of the author to reprint? ... Again, just checking ...
On to the topic at hand ... I think it is much ado about "nothing" ... Why? ... Because I think the author overstates his case.
America is not a religion, but Americans are generally speaking a "religious" bunch ...
The issue turns, I believe, on whether any American wishes to force others to accept their religion as THE religion of choice.
If we do what we as a nation have ALWAYS done ... i.e., respect ALL religions, I do not foresee a problem ...
The current item in the news ... The "Ten Commandments" monument is much ado about "nothing" ... So, it stirs up some folks and the media ... Hmmm ... Ok ... What else is new? ...
I leave y'all now with those few words of contribution and wish you all well with this new site ...
I will be back to check on any reaction this post might bring forth, but with full disclosure, it may not be all that often because I am already overextended timewise ...
However, since Sean posted an invitation to this Forum at my Forum ... I decided to stop in and wish you all well! ...
Have a wonderful evening! ... :) ... |
