Being a Christian I am accustomed to people resenting our standing, speaking or gathering. Any ethnic or cultural group can do these things with approval I understand that the world would prefer we shut up and sit down.
I have several reasons why this article is secular and shouldn’t be heeded by Christians. You will find my reasons posted right after the reasons posted by the author as to why we should not be seen on those sites.
