I really like this article by Doctor Brian Lee, pastor of Christ Reformed Church in our nation’s capitol, and he has written another excellence article at the Daily Caller.

Freedom of religion requires freedom to offend
By Dr. Brian Lee

Does religious freedom include the freedom to give offense? Does our Constitution protect the offensive exercise of religion?

One Response to Freedom of religion requires freedom to offend

  • RNM says:

    ‘Christianity is a religion of love, but it is also a religion of redemption, and therefore offense. The Apostles clearly proclaimed Jesus as a “stone of stumbling and a rock of offense” (1 Peter 2:8), and Paul located this offense centrally in “Christ crucified, a stumbling block [offense] to Jews, and folly to Gentiles” (1 Corinthians 1:23). The cross is foolish and weak; it offends both the reason and religion of us all.’

    Christianity is a religion of both love and justice.

    I attempt not to offend but occasionally justice and perhaps love calls for it.
