Jeff Sessions Not Sure If Secular Americans Understand Truth
At Sessions’ confirmation hearing earlier today, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) asked the Attorney General nominee if he believes a secular person has the same understanding of the truth as a religious individual.
Sessions replied:
Well, I’m not sure.
Sessions’ answer is alarming.
As an afterthought, after saying he was “not sure” if secular people understand the truth as well as religious people, Sessions added:
We’re going to treat anybody with different views fairly and objectively.
While this nod towards fairness may placate some, the fact is Sessions is indicating that secular views are “different views” – the implication being that these secular views are different from (and inferior to) Christian views.

To the religious, it's whatever the Bible says.
