Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Thursday: “One can be sophisticated and believe in Jesus as in some way a ‘son of God.’ But to believe in traditional Christianity is something else. To believe Jesus was God and was born of a virgin … surely those who adhere to those beliefs are regarded in educated circles — maybe in the South, it’s different — are regarded as simple-minded.”
I often agree with Antonin Scalia, and this is one of those times. I’d go even further. The problem I have with many in politics today is that those of us who believe in Jesus as Christ — whether we’re politically liberal or conservative — are considered not only as simple-minded but also as the enemy.
