I used to love buying the latest issue of American Spectator at the newsstand, and loved Stein’s column. I would read the magazine cover to cover. And National Review, back when it was the leading conservative magazine. I think the internet has diminished my attention span; I don’t know if I could stay on one site long enough, and anyway, the format will never be the same.

Are we sure George Carlin didn’t write this? Just kidding... well, a little. This is actually a mishmash of multiple versions on the interweb. But if Ben said this on TV, pretty sure he didn’t urge people to pass it along on social media or emails...

Ignore the Karens.

Absolutely wonderful (easily readable) message.

Thank you.

‘Excellent essay by Stein. Reminds me of the question “If you were put on trial for being Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” We need to unapologetically stand up for our religious beliefs.

It is some Ben Stein and some other.

I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country.

American Marxism is a good place to look first.

I agree with Ben Stein commentary. I was raised without religion but told to read the Bible because it was one of the "great books" and part of my heritage. I am at best an agnostic, but recognize that the ancient Jews and Christians had a better understanding of what made a society work and livable than most modern philosophers if not all. I will take President John Adams' word for it:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --- John Adams
