Social Justice Challenge: Religious Freedom 01/25/2010
Religious freedom should be about people freely practicing the spiritual belief of their choice or none at all without persecution and without detriment to others. Just as those who are harmed or even killed because of their faith are not free in their religion, those who do the harming and killing in the name of some belief are not free in theirs. Those with religious freedom will be able to nurture their spirituality without concern of being harmed or the need to harm others who don't believe what they believe. I assume for the intents and purposes of the challenge, religion is being used interchangeably with faith. Normally, I differentiate as religion is more organizational and faith is individualized. Having said that, religion/faith should be and is a personal decision. There's no place for it in government which is what often leads to the issue of religious persecution. When this life is over, it'll be between you and God...if that's what you believe. ![]() Comments Comments are closed. | Authors and publishers feel free to check out my review policy and contact me regarding review requests.
