Normally, I don't talk about politics much. My reason for this is that I don't feel the two should be mixed. My goal is to offer thoughts that might help others live a more spiritual, more fulfilling life. In order to reach the widest audience possible, I don't limit myself to a specific religion, and I don't bring politics into the discussion.
So why do it now? Because today, I read something I think everyone should carefully consider. The title of the piece is A Time for Heresy, by Bill Moyers. Mr. Moyers is the President of the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy. This article is actually the prepared text of his speech delivered on March 14 on the establishment by the Wake Forest Divinity School, of a scholarship in religious freedom in the name of Judith and Bill Moyers.
In his remarks, Moyers argues that our government is in danger of being taken over by, among other things, religious entities that would like very much to force others to think and act as they do. Personally, I'd much prefer they never got the chance. I strongly support each individual's right to practice the faith that best helps them to lead a good life. And I strongly support the separation of Church and State so that all of us continue to enjoy this right.
Thank you, Mr. Moyers for saying so eloquently that which must be said.
