In the first segment, our panelists discuss the impact of digital habits on political attitudes and religious beliefs in today’s digital society. They explore how the internet has both connected people with politics and increased the influence of extreme views. Amid this digital dilemma, they aim to chart a Christian vision for digital engagement and the promotion of the common good.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. This case delves into the intersection of free speech, free exercise of religion, and non-discrimination laws when a bakery refused to create a custom wedding cake for a gay couple. The Supreme Court’s ruling, while narrow, has significant implications for the delicate balance between religious freedom and anti-discrimination measures.
