1-“Freedom of religion” is the opportunity to believe or not believe, practice or not practice, evangelize and proselytize, or change from one to another religion, denomination, church/temple/mosque, or none at all. It includes conscience and worship but is much more public. Authoritarian regimes the world over, including the Middle East and North Africa, often do not permit freedom of religion. 2-Yet unbelievably, today, the “First Amendment” of the US Constitution is under attack because some Americans, ironically in the name of tolerance, no longer subscribe to its ideals: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…” 3-Do not let anyone tell you restricting these civil liberties – actually, I’d say inalienable rights – do not matter, for they are our “first freedoms,“ fundamental and essential to our present and future free society.

A 2:09 min video I recently recorded with Manna Media. About our angst at living in the worst of times, that maybe the world is imploding, and what if it is, or isn't?

A 2:08 min video I recently recorded with Manna Media, considering the way people argue on social media that their political or partisan views are righteous, all others are ipso facto unrighteous, and God clearly favors their view exclusively.

This one will probably get me in trouble, and that's OK, but if you argue otherwise the burden of proof is on you.

In Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address near the close of the Civil War, he said, "Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained...Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other...The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes."
