The New York Times has an article up about how Evangelicals are feeling abandoned.

"He [Ryan Jorgenson] expects that more and more Christians will, like the Odgaards, suffer “persecution” for their beliefs."

Look - it's not persecution, folks. You don't have the slightest idea what religious persecution is like, and neither do I, because thankfully the founding fathers made sure to incorporate rules limiting the ability for Congress to pass laws abridging the freedom of religion into our Constitution.

What "freedom of religion" doesn't cover: treating someone differently because of their race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. That's also in our Constitution.

I can perfectly empathize with the fact that things are changing pretty fast, and that's not going to make everyone feel comfortable with things happening around them. But take a second and ask yourself if someone else's choices really have an effect on how you live your life. There's a 99.9% chance that your neighbor being different than you is a good thing.
