I can't help but wonder what the reaction among many of the defenders of this act had been if it had been a Hindu who had been given this choice with Shiva and made a case out of it, or how the reaction had been if this story was from Europe and the child were a Muslim.
Through I will also say that from what I read, it seem more a badly thought out execise than ill will toward religious people.
Being a white Christian in a white Christian country leaves you with a very underdeveloped understanding of persecuted minorities. What I'm trying to say is there is no war on Christianity in the United States. If white Christians in a Texas suburb are persecuted what do you call what happens every day to black people regardless of faith?
