For a long time religious people ridiculed the Big Bang Theory. Now, slowly, some seek to claim it as their own, as God's creation. Talk about wanting to have it both ways.

It seems like what it boils down to, for many, is moral relativism. There's no right religion or wrong religion, it's all good as long as you express it with warmth and conviction.

Religious freedom and its moral relativism is great as long as your favorite religion is in the majority. But how would we feel if those of the Muslim faith became the majority and started to implement Sharia law? There are Christians who say our right to freedom comes from God. If that's the case, then Muslims can change that right based on their particular faith.

Just food for thought.

Very good post. However, I would add there is no right religion, wrong religion OR NO RELIGION. For some to use religion as a way to make sense of the world and our existence is total arrogance. Science keeps searching for answers and those answers keep evolving, however, some regions believe they are the only answer. Unfortunate!
