Ben Kessler Offers a Non-Apology

Ben Kessler hasn't apologized for his opinions. He apologized if what he said offended anyone. Things he should apologize for instead:

• Failing to consider that his views are one-sided
• Failing to consider the reasoning behind the choices made by the people he was insulting
• Failing to consider whether a commencement speech is an appropriate time for a religiously-motivated, politically controversial speech
• Failing to realize that, at all of 21-years-old, he doesn't know everything
• Failing to realize that he will NEVER hold the privilege of judging the actions of others

Sorry, Mr. Kessler, but your apology wasn't much of an apology at all. You basically said, "I'm sorry you're offended that I consider your actions selfish and that I was brave enough to tell you."

Mr. Kessler, you're free to make whatever religious decisions you want, as long as you limit those decisions to your own life. Leave everyone else to make their own decisions.

You aren't God. She didn't appoint you as Her voice on Earth. If She has something to say, She can say it herself.

STFU.
