Alan Sears: The heart has its reasons

ADF President and General Counsel Alan Sears writing at Townhall: “That many find the character and claims of Christ offensive is not surprising. The Apostle Paul reminded believers in Rome that Christ and His cross would be ‘a stumbling stone and a rock of offense’ to many people (Romans 9:33), and Jesus Himself warned His disciples that they would be hated for His sake (Matthew 10:22). But the hallmark of American government and culture has always been a stubborn tolerance for religious belief and the free expression of ideas – spiritual or otherwise. This growing determination to drive every non-epithetical mention of God and Christ from our public forums betrays not just an erosion of that vaulted tolerance, but a sinister threat to our most basic liberties.”
