Religious Freedom Day–Another Christian Holiday
January 15, 2007 by Dr. Mc.
January 16 is officially Religious Freedom Day for the United States. Why the United States? Even though many different faiths were in America at its beginning, the Bible furnished the most common foundation for thought, and the Bible says religion is a personal choice. Though we are admonished in the Bible to choose salvation, Christ told His disciples to simply walk away if a person chooses otherwise. This is not so for other religions texts, such as Sura 9:5 of the Koran, where followers are told to take harsher action on the infidel who refuses to follow. Religious tolerance is a Christian concept.
