Tolerance In God's Not Dead 2
“God’s Not Dead 2” star Melissa Joan Hart thinks Christians, like other religious groups, also deserve tolerance for their faith.
On Thursday, Melissa Joan Hart appeared on “Good Morning America” and spoke to host Paula Faris about her role in the film “God’s Not Dead 2.” The actress was asked about the importance of discussing the situation being depicted in the faith-based movie, News Busters reports.
“We need to be tolerant of all religions. If a Christian's right is subordinate to all other rights, than it's not a right at all,” Hart answered Faris. “And so, you know, I think it's really about tolerance across the board for everyone.”
In addition, Faris also asked the actress about the difference between her role as a funny witch in “Sabrina:

    EEOC V. Red Robin's Case Against Autonomy

    In contrast to this case, there are cases where religion is favored over cooperation. In one example EEOC v. Red Robin, where Red Robin was against an employee with two tattoos of verses on his wrist. They told him that if he did not cover up his tattoos, he would not be able to serve. Red Robin argued in part that the employee had standards that the tattoos conflicted with the companies’ family image. The only evidence that Red Robin had against these tattoos was a statement saying that they “seek to represent a family-orientated and kid friendly image (Flake).” But since there was no evidence to point that the customers complained about the tattoos. In the end the employee was paid by Red Robins $150,000. More cases are building up over this…

    The Terri Schiavo Case: Collapse Of Life

    All the turmoil because of the government’s stance to try and protect as it is supposed to do without stepping on peoples religious rights( according to the Amendment clause) leads us to believe there will be more cases like this in the future. “This is not what the founders intended, nor is it the way we usually think about the two clauses of the First Amendment” ((Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008). “We usually think of them operating in tandem to protect our religious rights. But history has suggested that in many cases, it is the tension, not the harmony, between them that best protects religious freedom” ((Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008).…

    Arlene's Flowers Case Study

    In a political atmosphere where homosexuality has become trendy, and those opposing it citing religious freedom are criticized, a debate has arisen between parties both for and against this exercise of religious freedom. Issues stem from the applications of personal religious freedom and their applications to business. This position has become increasingly difficult for courts to rule on, especially given the supreme court ruling on the legalization of same sex marriage which pushed this debate on religious freedom into the living room of America and out of court. The debate has captivated the interests of individuals in the US, even those without strong feelings for or against, given the conundrum that has arisen between the clash of religious freedom and personal expression. The question remains, should the views of an individual entitle them to discriminate when when conducting business with another, and in a union founded upon the separation between…

    Teaching Tolerance In America Summary

    SUMMARY AND RESPONSE TO TEACHING TOLERANCE IN AMER 2 Summary and Response to Teaching Tolerance in America Within his essay “Teaching Tolerance in America,” Devlin (2011) begins by introducing the reader to the current state of the nation‟s schools, specifically high schools, by discussing a variety of ways that tolerance in schools is falling short and that this is a significant problem. He then describes in great detail this issue, but categorizes its cause into to three specific areas: racial differences, gender differences, and social differences. For example, with regard to social differences, Devlin states, “The outsiders, geeks, and gays are ridiculed by everyone and harassed, bullied, and picked on by the jocks and by other members…

    Intolerance In The Crucible

    Intolerance is not a new idea as can be seen in the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller, which takes place in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials. The Puritans specialized in narrow-minded beliefs as anyone who did not conform to their ideals was not tolerated in their society. Without their ignorance, it would have been much harder for the Witch Trials to occur if they did at all. It may seem like dangerous intolerance is an ancient concept, but discrimination lives on in today’s society. Recently, a 14 year old Muslim boy, who was an avid engineering student, was believed to have brought a bomb to school, however it was a clock he had made at home. It is blatant that the teacher took part in racial profiling and believed the young boy…

    There is many different types of social justice, yet it is rare for someone to associate it with faith and religion. In the article “Faith Call Us To Be Courageous in Our Love” by Marie Alford-Harkey, it says that people of faith should love and accept all. This seems easy enough, but as of right now in this country, it is a challenge. This article talks of everything from the Syrian refugees to the LGBTQ+ community. Can the Christians learn to love all?…

    Rogerian Argument

    Religion, whether we realize it or not, is a major element of American society (and also worldwide history). For many, religion is a significant part of their cultural identity. Religion plays a part in all levels of politics and is often an aspect of community events and organizations. Everyday, we all interact with people who have different religious backgrounds and personal beliefs. Children born into religious families are very connected with their religions from birth and this affects the way they will see the world for the rest of their lives. Even those who later explore other faiths or convert to other religious ideas will be affected in subtle ways by their family religion. We are a product of our upbringing, no matter how our later life experiences or how the state may change us. Besides on a personal level, there is a consistent debate on whether religion should be present in the public school systems, or if it is against the state. A philosophical quote by Pope Benedict XVI (born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger) in an interview on religion versus the state includes, “A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society” (Ratzing). Though this may seem like an inspiring idea, there are still debates on the subject.…

    What It Means to Be American

    Americans strongly affirm the principles of religious freedom, religious tolerance, and separation of church and state. Nearly 9-in-10 (88 percent) Americans agree that America was founded on the idea of religious freedom for everyone, including religious groups that are unpopular. Ninety-five percent of Americans agree that all religious books should be treated with respect even if we don’t share the religious beliefs of those who use them. Nearly two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans agree that we must maintain a strict separation of church and state. Americans’ views of Muslims and Islam are mixed, however. As with other previously marginalized religious groups in U.S. history, Americans are grappling with the questions Islam poses to America’s founding principles and way of life.…

    The Crucible: Intolerance

    Intolerance is an action that was a major part of puritan society, and is still encountered in our modern world. Ironically, intolerance is a often a result of religious expectations and differing opinions. In both the Puritan society of Salem and the modern world, intolerance results from between those who strongly follow a religion, and others who differ. Since religions contain a variety of ideas and beliefs that are regarded so highly, religious members tend to become intolerant to varying beliefs and behaviors. Even those in Puritan culture who were not necessarily a religious leader, but still held high authority, made intolerant claims. Puritans related everything to God and the Devil, so judges, just the same as reverends, ruled with religion. Leaders such as Pastor Scott Lively in the current world, or Reverend Hale and Judge Danforth from Salem, led the intolerant accusations of individuals who differed and opposed the beliefs of their religion.…

    Religious Tolerance

    Religious tolerance in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was very rare. However, there were many people and movements that led to an increase in tolerance and protection for all different religions. Among the many influential people of this time, John Winthrop, Roger Williams, and the Puritans stand out. Another major reason for the increase of toleration is the Maryland Toleration Act. People came to the colonies in search of religious freedom and the right to express themselves freely. Eventually, over time they got it. Some people, who were pushed out of England because of the lack of space, attempted to keep the ways of England. Despite the many obstacles and controversies many determined people stopped at nothing to achieve what they believed to be right.…
