Now, how about next Saturday, a group of Satanists show up on county school property?  Or a Santerian group killing chickens at each stop. How would you feel about that?  You say it wouldn't happen?  The Satanists have already arrived in Florida to pray in public at schools.

 

You just can't have it both ways.

Hi Kate,

 

Under the First Amendment, those groups have as much right to practice their religion as I have to practice my Christian faith.  Of course, the group killing animals might run into a problem with PETA.

 

First Amendment:  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

 

That is why the federal judge ruled that atheism is a religion and that prisoners being held in a prison have a right to practice their religion of atheism.

 

And, as for the Satanists praying in a public school -- not a problem, AS LONG as the teachers have the same right to explain God's view of Satanism to the students.

 

The problem is, Satanists, Muslims, secularist, atheists, or any other group, including gay rights activists, have the freedom to speak in schools and other public venues -- but, Christians are not allowed to speak about God in that same school.  Is that really fair?

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill
