I hate being manipulated. I hate it when people lie to me to try and influence my decision. And I really despise it when people intentionally try to change my views by fabricating a story that would change how I view something.
I’ve been told this was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. Whether it was or wasn’t, I love the story and the points made in this.
My confession:
I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.
