Another follow-up post about the Microsoft story. This post comes in from an employee at Microsoft who sent a reply to Steve Ballmer’s memo on their recent lack of support for the WA State anti-discrimination Bill that failed to pass by one vote. I know I’ve blogged quite a bit about this whole Microsoft story but I lived in Seattle for 7 years so it’s close to me and many of my friends. I also think it’s an example of what is happening in this country with the battle over church and state and just how much religious pressure people will put up with. It’s not about faith or religious values, it’s about religion and government and what happens when they merge. This isn’t about whether you believe in God, it’s about forcing everyone to believe in your God. I think the Microsoft story is important, not only because of what Microsoft did (or failed to do) but also because of the fallout, much of it very passionate, as a result.
