Apart from the issue of whether someone’s Christian beliefs mandate he or she must speak out about someone’s sexual orientation, there is the question of whether in today’s hyper-vigilant, let-no-offensive-speech-see-the-light-of-day climate whether schools and other public institutions can force people to go against their beliefs, however misguided or judgmental those beliefs might be.
A recent posting on atheism and the question of whether it is a religion has been drawing a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion, some of which I published in last Saturday’s Sentinel, alongside my column on the same topic.
DonMiller writes about culture, spirituality and issues behind the news.
MILLER: I mean, there's this feeling inside of my chest that testifies to that idea that I didn't need a scientific explanation because as I look around me there aren't scientific explanations for most of the things that take place in our lives but they happen.
MILLER: It's a part of my biography that I'm not exactly proud of but I was a fundamentalist at one point in my life, where I worked at a their camp in Colorado.
MILLER: The churches I had been going to was sort of suburban, evangelical churches, conservative in both theology and political opinion led by a staff of white men.
