Letters to the Editor

Invite, not conscript

In reference to the letter to the editor from Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of Freedom From Religion Foundation in Madison, Wis., I’d like to remind her that it is freedom of religion rather than freedom from religion.

Gov. Matt Bevin would have been wrong had he required anyone to attend the prayer breakfast, but what he sent was an invitation rather than a demand.

Please quit discriminating against Christians in our country; Christians, please quit sitting back and allowing this type of foolishness.
