In reply to the discussion: How a Christian Fighter Pilot and FOX News Tried to Stop Fort Bragg Atheist Festival (And Failed) [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)Me too. That's why I wrote, "We will never be a free and inclusive nation until people stop trying to silence each other."
Trying to stop someone from attending a private event is wrong. The fighter pilot was wrong. We won't have a free and inclusive nation until people learn to stop trying to silence each other. The prayer breakfast was also a private event. The same principle applies for those trying to use a court injunction. People have a right to their faith or non-faith. Being elected to office doesn't demand they check their faith at the door; see, Obama, Barack H.
That's my whole point in this entire sub-thread.
"You lied in your post #12, and I pointed out the lie in my post #30."
So did you "lie" when you turned "establishment" into "endorsement" or was it just a simple error that should not be made to detract from a larger point? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, and all that. *giggle*
