1. This is a holy week for both of the Judeo-Christian religions. Best wishes to all.
2.In its original iteration, we were a nation of individuals, each entitled to his own beliefs, and could speak of those beliefs without fear of retribution. One didn't have to fear being a lonely opinion. That's what being an American means....or used to mean.
3. Contumely that faces religion and religious folks can be attributed to what used to be the major party, and may still be. A major reason for Trump's landslide election may be censorship, including that for religous perspectives.
4. April 20th,1999 Columbine High School Shooting. 13 killed, 23 wounded
One of the students was Cassie Bernal, and she was killed during the Columbine shooting on April 20th, 1999. The killer asked her if she believed in God. When she said “yes,” he killed her.
5. Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the gate:
‘To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods,
Under a Trump Administration, the religious spirit of our founder, has found a new champion.
