Christianity and Religious Liberty
Religious liberty is important and we need to protect it. However, the idea that we simply would like to see things happen in a way that's most comfortable for us, is not necessarily the most Christ-like way to operate. We can be different without being divided. We can be patriotic without being partisan. There are so many ways that we can live and stand up for what we believe, but we don't have to step on others at the same time. This is what Christian religious freedom is about.
