Is It Safer to Offend Christians than ‘Childless Cat Ladies’?

This week, Eric and Dan are joined by Mike Cosper of Christianity Today to discuss last week’s firing and then un-firing of ERLC president Brent Leatherwood and the subsequent resignation of ERLC board chairman Kevin Smith. What happened there, why, and what does it tell us about the political battles going on in the church? Then, is it worth being angry or upset over the blasphemous parts of the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies? And finally, does our American politics have a “childless cat lady” problem, as VP nominee J.D. Vance suggests?
The Acton Institute is a think-tank whose mission is to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles.
This direction recognizes the benefits of a limited government, but also the beneficent consequences of a free market. It embraces an objective framework of moral values, but also recognizes and appreciates the subjective nature of economic value. It views justice as a duty of all to give the one his due but, more importantly, as an individual obligation to serve the common good and not just his own needs and wants.
In order to promote a more profound understanding of the coming together of faith and liberty, Acton involves members of religious, business, and academic spheres in its various seminars, publications, and academic activities. It is our hope that by demonstrating the compatibility of faith, liberty, and free economic activity, religious leaders and entrepreneurs can contribute by helping to shape a society that is secure, free, and virtuous.

Maybe, just maybe, instead of deciding the "worth of getting upset over the blasphemous elements of the paris Olympics" you(royal you; all Christians) stop asserting that anyone that doesn't adhere to your own emotional interpretation a 2000 year old book are commiting sins against that books "god"

Like personally as a gender non-conforming bisexual person, I would much rather you frame your disgust over it as your own, and not some made up being that has "ultimate authority"

Read all the books & many more when I was younger. It needed severe editing.
