Wrong on religion
Jan 17, 2008 1:02 PM
To the Editor:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Willard “Mitt” Romney stated in his speech on religion that “freedom requires religion” and “religion requires freedom.”
It’s quite obvious that Romney was snoozing in his history classes when he attended high school and college. Why do I say that?
Religion did quite well in history without freedom in the ancient world, the medieval world and on into the modern era. You had to worship the state’s religion throughout history — or else!
