Donklephant has a fabulous post today about religion, the Christian Right, and whether we’re sliding into a theocracy. Here’s a snippet:
And before anyone accidentally or willfully misinterprets my position, I am not calling for the Ten Commandments to be posted in courthouses and creationism to be taught in our schools. What I seek is a nation where we as a people do not get offended when confronted with the religious beliefs and passions of those whose faith seems odd to us. Nor should we get offended when our own religious beliefs and passions are scorned and mocked by others.
Read the whole thing, comments and all. It’s thought-provoking — so much so that I’m going to have to turn some things over in my mind and get back to you…
