WeÕve got to be willing to point out the brutal
hypocrisy, the illegality of the attack on religious
freedom. This applies not just to Christians, but to everyone. Everybody
has a stake in religious freedom because religious freedom is a good
measurement for the freedom of society. If we have a low view of
religious freedom, we will have a low view of freedom of association, a
low view of freedom of speech, a poor framework for political freedom.
We need to turn the world upside down. We needs to show that there is
a better way of being human rather then simply worshipping the
progressive gods of sex, death, and pleasure.
Michael Bird, author, theologian and lecturer at Ridley College, Australia
