Was Rick Warren's Invocation Less Inclusive Than He Let On?

it all boils down to perspective....

What we need to realize is that this country isn't an atheistic/agnostic/Buddhist/Hindu/Muslim/<insert religion here> country with Christians living in it. It's a Christian nation with followers of other faiths/or no faith living in it. Patrick Henry once said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ!" This next line from Henry as he continues, speaks volumes about WHY atheists and Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists, etc., have the religious freedom they do. "For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." I find it ironic, that those very same citizens with differing faith-expressions who are afforded the freedom to live here based on our Christian principles, are offended when someone utters the name of Jesus - the person to whom the credit is owed for the freedom and liberty THEY enjoy. If it destroys you so much who wish to try to stop it, you have the freedom to live here as much as you do to get out.

However, this petty grievance draws focus away from the work that needs done to heal the soul of this Nation. Winning the "Was Rick Warren's Invocation Less Inclusive Than He Let On?" debate is like putting a bandaid on a fatal wound. source>>>
