Comments on: Iowa Governor Chet Culver Promoting Intolerance http://examancer.com/2009/08/iowa-governor-chet-culver-promoting-intolerance/ take in moderation Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:36:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ryan http://examancer.com/2009/08/iowa-governor-chet-culver-promoting-intolerance/comment-page-1/#comment-5910 Ryan Sat, 08 Aug 2009 12:52:01 +0000 http://examancer.com/?p=150#comment-5910 From the state that brought us a huge step forward on gay marriage? I hope that Christians and other religious groups view this as a potential threat to their freedom as well. I think people forget that "freedom to practice your religion" also means that you have the freedom not to practice any religion at all. I used to support Culver, but this clearly reveals the quality of his thought processes on both legal and religious matters in such a way that I can't support him anymore.

Below is what I sent to the Governer through the web site. Dear Governer Culver, As you're surely aware by now, your reaction to the Iowa Atheists bus advertisement has made waves far outside of your state. I certainly understand that the comments and actions of politicians are often taken out of context and I hope that such is the case in this situation. It's hard to imagine any educated person being disturbed by the thought that there are people who don't believe in something they can't see. I hope you'll reconsider your position and understand that it affects Americans in every state of this country, whether directly or indirectly. Thank you for your time.
