My point is that some of the Founding Fathers believed that any attempt to shout down the beliefs of others on the basis of those beliefs alone is far more dangerous to the Republic than nearly anything those beliefs could espouse- no matter how abhorrent; the best way is to let rational citizens speak and listen. Franklin was of the opinion that citizens should be able to listen to Imam, Rabbi and atheist alike and make up their minds.
Franklin was on point and I appreciate your post.
People that support these three “Christian patriots” are completely out of touch with both the heart and foundation of America and also the purpose as to why the Hindu chaplain was invited to do the opening prayer.
In India, on Christmas, Hindus everywhere, at least around New Delhi, say “Merry Christmas” to everyone. That’s something that’s not even done here.
The strongest religious patriots are those who practice their beliefs WITHOUT trampling on those of others.
