After a month of updating Floridians on hurricanes, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is now focusing his official office on fighting an abortion rights amendment, holding a campaign-like rally at state expense two weeks before the election.
DeSantis’ event Monday, which was capped with a prayer from the archbishop of Miami and the lieutenant governor asking people to not vote like atheists, came after the Department of Health’s top lawyer resigned over a letter he said the governor’s office forced him to send to television stations in an effort to stop a pro-Amendment 4 ad.
I want to believe that you are wrong
I want to believe it, too, but those kinds of subjects were front and center and people made it very clear that they were proud to hold those beliefs.
It was a university that brands itself as a non-denominational Christian school. Fully accredited, and those kids all went on to good medical/graduate schools. Very conservative place, where saying something like the universe is billions of years old is controversial. I started there very conservative with the intention of becoming a missionary, and ironically, close study of biblical archeology, canon, history, apologetics, and hermeneutics sowed the seed of doubt that blossomed into atheism and a renewed love for science and philosophy. So, not everything was bad!
