To attract more customers to his fledgling moving company, 15-year-old Jon Sorber placed an ad in the Okemos Towne Courier, and his mother even drew the logo — two smiling stick figures sitting inside a moving truck.

In the fall of 2002, I wrote my first State News opinion column, "Religious majority doesn't understand atheist views" (SN 11/26/02). The lack of unapologetically secular and atheist perspectives in the mainstream press, especially at a time of increasing religious fundamentalism, motivated me to write. I'm appreciative to The State News for allowing me to articulate a minority and largely unwelcome viewpoint.

Lansing — Neo-Nazis, sympathizers and protesters might have gone face to face at the Capitol on Saturday, but those who wanted to oppose the rally in a less confrontational way attended a diversity celebration. Lansing city officials organized "Win the Day" at Lansing's Eastern High School to counteract the National Socialist Movement, or NSM, rally held at the Capitol that afternoon.

I can't say that I have ever had the displeasure of reading a column by John Bice, but I can say that I am thankful I will never have to again. I was perturbed, and downright outraged, at his column "Criticism warranted when any group forces its beliefs on others" (SN 4/17). If Bice had been raised Christian and was a true follower, he would understand that sharing one's faith is a basic tenant of Christianity. Christians do have the "intention of pushing their faith-based values on others." We are taught that not sharing your faith is like wasting a gift, one that everyone is entitled to and needs to know about.
