Did you know that the ACLU you defends Christians ?

Question

Here is the intro from their website

The ACLU fights just as hard for INDIVIDUAL free exercise of religion as the ACLU fights against GOVERNMENT endorsement, sponsorship, or establishment of religion. Despite this fact, many people spread misinformation about the ACLU around the internet, innocently and maliciously, falsely claiming the ACLU is anti-religion or anti-Christian.

This list of FACTS counteracts that misinformation. These links represent just a few of the many examples of the ACLU defending the free speech and free exercise rights of Christians (for purposes of this list, the word “Christian” means a person who self-identifies as “Christian”).

In every example, the ACLU is defending the right of a Christian to speak as a Christian or to practice Christianity."

This is followed by about 30 examples of the ACLU DEFENDING the right of CHRISTIANS to practice thier faith.

My question is supposed to read "Did you know that the ACLU defends Christians" ? The extra "you" is a typo, but I can't edit it out.

Section Hand - You might actually try reading the link before you spout your ignorant nonsense. I guess you must be of the school of thought that if you tell a big enough lie, people will believe it.

Answer 1

Yes. Many Christians I know openly support the ACLU. I have a number of Christian friends, including several clergy members, who are active members of the ACLU. They'll defend unpopular speech and groups, and that's a good thing. The ACLU will defend the Klan, gay rights groups, atheists, and your local pastor, too. That's because freedom is for everyone, not just for the people you happen to agree with.

Answer 2

You're quite correct. The ONLY job of the ACLU is protection of rights of freedom of speech as described in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. That's ALL they do. Any American who isn't a member should have their patriotism questioned.

Answer 3

Those of us who are actually familiar with the ACLU and what they do knew this already. I've noticed that the Dittoheads and Bill O'Reilly listeners don't understand it, and can only see what they want. It was great of you to post the info, but I doubt many will actually read it through, or they'll make up excuses as to why it's untrue... I said to someone here earlier that they should pray they never need the ACLU after bashing them.

Answer 4

The ACLU provides a good service, but they are not without their flaws.

Answer 5

You're exactly right.
