Need for a new dialogue on freedom of religion
As these stories seem to reveal, at least to me, that when it comes to discussing freedom of religion… neither side is willing to dialogue. The “christian” side (that being of the ‘christian media,’ i.e. cbn, focus on the familty, etc.) seems to present the present time as a seige of their rights, but at the same time there is also a sense of entitlement. The “christian” defense is a little lopsided when you read this story. The reality may not be contained in either of these stories. I just hope we can move beyond banning prayer or forcing prayer, but instead allow free practice of prayer. Just what this would look like is beyond my purview, I just pray wisdom on the judges to see the facets of these arguments in the light of freedom of religion, not just from religion or in favor of a particular religion.
