Many of us have observed with interest the recent “Same Sex Marriage” lawsuit/trial. Here is a video that I consider quite instructive. It is a Fox News video piece of Chris Wallace interviewing Ted Olson. Olson was the lead counsel representing the people suing the State of California against Proposition 8. Feel free …to comment after viewing. (There are two parts. Watching both takes less than 15 minutes.)
By the way, Ted Olson is quite an interesting person. He is a well known Conservative. He represented George W. Bush in the Bush vs. Gore court proceedings that ended up before the Supreme Court in 2000. Later he was President Bush’s Solicitor General, representing the White House in actions before the Supreme Court. His wife, Barbara Olson, conservative television commentator and lawyer who worked for Fox News Channel, was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 en route to a taping of the television show “Politically Incorrect” when it was flown into the Pentagon in the September 11 attacks.
Dear Abraham,
First of all I just want to say how much I have enjoyed reading your articulate writings on your blog. Your own deconversion story is very inspiring: I am an ex-Christian myself, so can partly understand the things that you have gone through.
The reason for the email is that I am writing a book on ex-Christians and their testimonies. I am a researcher in an English University in public policy normally but I am doing this in my spare time. You can find more details of the book here:

I would be very interested in using your own story, based on the writings on your blog, in the book I am writing. If you were to agree to this, I would treat all of your information 100% confidentially and would also assign a pseudonym to your story if it were included in the book. I would be really grateful if you would get back to me regarding your reaction to this and would be happy to answer any questions you have concerning the project. My email is Exchristiantestimonies@hotmail.co.uk
Many thanks,
James
Wow! Love it! I will check your blog and expound a little later! I confess I already borrowed your “You Are Here” comic and posted it without comment on my Facebook page! Ha! Can’t wait for the eager beavers to jump in with their comments. Thanks!
