Left v Right = Wrong #2
Candace Owens and Briahna Joy Gray
Readers of this blog will know that we have little or no sympathy for Right v Left narratives. Debate the issues. Labels are misleading at best and destructive at worst. Let all ad hominem and partisan flummery be put aside.
Here is a current example: two representatives of highly disparate political and social views having a collegial and constructive discussion on an issue of GREATEST significance to the current political situation in our country and the world; and uniting on that issue. As always, your thoughts and views are welcomed.
I posted the following comment to this video:
The establishment by government of a state religion is a violation of a fundamental human right. Laws that exempt religious organizations from contributing to pay for public goods and services create privilege. Yes, individuals ought to be free to practice their religious beliefs (subject to constraints imposed by universally-applicable human rights). But, the law guaranteeing freedom of religion is insufficient. The law must guarantee freedom from religion. I wonder how many nation-states today meet these criteria to be considered a just society?
