The U.S.A. calls itself the land of the free, yet there are people who want to keep non-Christians out of the country. We are supposed to have freedom of religion. Keeping out refugees who are not Christian goes this freedom. I repeat that many people confuse freedom of religion with the freedom to hate and discriminate. What happened to the idea of welcoming those "yearning to breath free." There are those who want to make this a country where people who think and believe differently and look different are excluded. Much has been made of the fact that Native Americans were present at what was considered the first Thanksgiving. The mass genocide that came later is not mentioned in these tales. The so-called Christians who preach hatred of Muslims and members of the LGBTQ communities make me understand more and more what Gandhi meant when he said that he wanted to be a Christian until he met one. Id this really the land of the free? There are those who want only conservative Christians to enjoy this freedom.
