Ask yourself, why is it religious liberty and social justice, instead of liberty and justice? And could the phrase “for all” believably be added to either concept? It is interesting to ponder, and to think that real solutions might satisfy both interests. My hunch is that at this point, we should just go with both things and try to provide work and laws that serve both those causes. This also suggests a philosophical component where too many people have fallen for the idea that our only option is to negotiate with different groups who all have supposedly legitimate but conflicting interests. Maybe that is not how it works. It could be that until there is true faith that decisions can fairly benefit all people, then no real peace and progress will take place in our country or anywhere else. Can’t everyone now say “I told you so” about at least some things, so people can agree to move on with what surely must be an obvious path forward.
