BAN RELIGION AND BE READY FOR REBELLION; ATHEIST'S PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE SUIT MAY TRIGGER UNEXPECTED BACKLASH
2002
Overview
I say it's time for a field trip. Send [Michael Newdow], [Alfred Goodwin] and their friends to visit Mecca for a while. Ah, I forgot they're not allowed even to enter Mecca, because of religious laws there. Then perhaps they can visit Islamabad during the month of Ramadan, and walk the streets looking at restaurants that have been closed by the government in order to compel everyone into fasting during daylight hours. Our American friends may gain helpful perspective. Yet the truth is that an open religious marketplace is the best antidote to coercion. The New Testament revealingly depicts how some of the apostle Paul's most fruitless missionary work was in Athens, where the Areopagus' bustling farmer's market of ideas gave him a short and fair hearing and a far more tepid response than he received in many other cities. In other words, Pat Robertson is probably praying right now that Newdow lives long enough to witness the horror of a nation that will inevitably react to his squelching of God by becoming more publicly religious than ever.
