This traces back to when I was more involved with Christian political activism.
(But the concerns on the table are still quite germane):
A sampling of what the ACLU finds worth defending- and worth opposing:
Supports:
-legalized child pornography
-legalized drugs
-tax exemptions for Satanists
-legalized prostitution
-abortion on demand
-forced busing
-ideological tests for court appointees
-automatic entitled probation
-public demonstrations for Nazis and Communists
-legalized polygamy
Opposes:
-legalized, voluntary school prayer
-sobriety check points (?)
-tax exemptions for churches
-religious displays in public places
-medical safety reporting (AIDS, HIV, STDs)
-parental consent laws
-education vouchers and home schooling
-government ethics committees
-prison terms for criminal offenses (?)
(?)

ReplyDeleteYour writing demonstrates how extensively you have read scripture. What makes a great teacher? Wisdom, listening, experience, patience, and above all, Love. Of course, we must not forget the human condition, must we? Your writing is quite interesting. Well done Rob!

You have great taste in music Rob - refined and eclectic.

I don't know if an enumeration of the ACLU's pros and cons precisely shows such musical taste; but I can connect the dots as well as anyone...hence, Thanks!
