I've been in full agreement with the Prayer Event suggested by and brought about by Texas Governor Perry. However, I'm appalled at the stance of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Mississippi when they state that the First Amendment's freedom of religion applies ONLY to Christians.
Not only does the amendment apply to ALL religions, but Christ, Himself, taught us that WE are to give freedom to those who choose another religion. We are not to abridge ANYONE's rights to make choices based on their own free will. God gave man the free will to make decisions and choices, even the choice to not believe in Him or follow Him. How, then, can we claim to be His followers if we do not extend that same freedom of will to other people?
