Does it strike anyone as odd that todays politicians are completely ignoring one of the things this country was founded on?
The Puritans came to this continent because they were persecuted and were not allowed to practice their religion in England.
Now we have many politicians telling us that we need to make sure this country gets back to it’s Christian roots. While the Puritans were indeed Christians, the reason they left, and one of the roots of our constitution, is the the right to religious freedom.
If our politicians believe so strongly that we need to be a completely Christian nation, then we are really no better than the Taliban from the stand point that one religion must be used to come to every answer needed by the country and the population.
For those that are now jumping up and down and screaming, I am in no way saying that I agree with the way the Taliban treats its people and particularly the women but the mindset (religious views ruling all) is the same.
