  • MAC PAPPY, what difference does being on government property make? As long as Congress isn’t establishing a state religion through law or preventing people from exercising their religious freedom, I think it is great. A Christian has just as much right to exercise this form of free speech on government property as anyone else has to stand on that same property and speak.

  • It’s not really that fishy… it goes right along with the warnings about gun control we have tried to make clear. Make public schools “gun free” zones and you aren’t going to stop this kind of tragedy. All you guarantee is that there won’t be anyone there to stop this kind of tragedy. You have given any crazy person a barrel full of fish to shoot at.

  • I don’t know, but I stood out at the polls all day for the Republicans. On the other side were two Black Deomcrat Women. They were also believers who were against abortion and gay marriage — they said they didn’t think Obama really believed that stuff in his heart. SMH.

  • Right on… we have to explain this stuff. Further, mandating a minimum wage does not make a particular job worth that much. If you tell me I have to pay $12 an hour to get something done that is only worth $7 to me, then that $7 opportunity will go away.

  • What? Santorum just dropped off the list? He is better or as good as any of the above…

  • I’m 38, and I have been a Christian since I was 5. I can understand being made uncomfortable by such a situation… but I am uncomfortable with suing because of it too. Is this really the kind of witness we should be leaving? Maybe if she had been fired, it would be more acceptable to me, but she quit. Does this mean you can’t invite employees to church — they might feel uncomfortable, quit, and the sue?

    Some day I would like to have my own company. I want to begin each day with a brief chapel service. Why can’t the government just leave us alone?

  • @ENCINOM,

    That’s an old, worn out falsehood. The separation of church and state is one, not in the Constitution, and two, perverted by your interpretation. The 1st Amendment is VERY clear that it is Congress (legislative branch of the federal government) that shall make no law regarding the establishment of a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. So what do the FFRF try to do? The try to squelch the free exercise of religion on a local level.

    Besides, the 10 Commandments is an integral part of history — it is foundational to Western law. I’m tired of organizations freaking out over things they don’t even believe in. Why don’t they go pick on unicorns and fairies for a while?

  • I always get a bit tickled at the LDS who want to claim Christianity and say that they are not a cult. They proceed to belittle Christians for not accepting them, waving their hands and saying, “Hey look! We are good people too!”

    Just remember that when Joseph Smith was called to start the LDS, by his own account, God told him that the beliefs of all the current Christian denominations were “abominations” to Him.

    Now you want to be known as Christians too? My advice would be to abandon the revelations of Mr. Smith who claimed all Christendom had got it wrong up to him.

  • Take note Obama… If you get another appointee to the Supreme Court, you have found your man.

  • I believe these verses from Matthew 5 explains it:

    44“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47“If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

    Our actions flow from obedience and righteousness — it isn’t just something we do to make ourselves feel good.
