1. This is important. To counter the hijacking of Christianity by the right, |
|
reasonable and tolerant Christians have joined together ecumenically with a clear message.
To keep shouting "separation of church and state" is simplistic. The real challenge is to heal the spiritual fabric of this nation at every level, to reduce toxicity and build health.

3. Indeed it does, just as a dictatorship endangers the body politic, |
|
or monopolies hurt the market.
Extremism is the problem, not faith.
