Introduction Recently, on social media, I spoke out against a church and their practices. I was then messaged by a member of that group telling me that I was spewing hate. All I had said was that I didn’t recommend it, and, for that, I was accused of spewing hate. It’s not surprising that his…

Sometimes the Answer is “No”.
