Comments on: Supreme Court Won't Touch Bible Club Case

Court Declines To Stop School District From Blocking Group Of Students From Forming Bible Club

Bible Club?
Is this an Oximoron?

Yet when Christians disagree with gay marriage, you call them bigots.

It's ironic, to put it mildly, that the gay marriage activists want protection under equal rights but they don't want equal protection for a harmless religious group.

This group in this story is being denied their equal rights. I do not agree with the decision at all.

Some of you are so hypocritical. It's okay when it suits your wants but nobody elses.

[dartplayer501]

It's not ironic at all.

Firstly, the US constitution is clear on the National religion idea; the founding fathers did not want one, because the fact that Great Britain did have a state religion is why their ancestors left England in the first place. Allowing school prayer and religious "clubs" on state school, hence government, property is, therefore unconstitutional.

Secondly; gay marriage supporters are not trying to stop you (Christians) from doing anything. They're quite OK with you having your beliefs. The "bigotry" claim arises becaus you ARE stopping them from doing something that they feel is their right. Nobody has EVER explained to me why allowing gays to get married undercuts anyone else's rights. If gay marriage undercuts basic "Christian" tenets, then divorce certainly does also. Here, I guess R.C.'s are more consistent than other branches of Christianity as they ban both.

Thank you cs4466... Perfect example I leave you alone and let you believe what you want to believe. But if I want to believe in God you call us craven cowards. I guess you are just as hypocritical as you claim the "Religious Reich" are. Good way to prove your point!


Chistians don't leave anyone alone. Christians are constantly trying to impose their beliefs on everyone by teaching creationism in school, by constantly attempting to allow prayer in school, interestingly enough, that prayer is ALWAYS Christian prayer, never another religion.

When Christian beliefs are disagreed with, that is called "attacking Christianity".
The Constitution is clear. There is NEVER a reason for the government to be involved in religion. And public schools are run by the local government.

If you think Christians are constantly trying to impose their beliefs on everyone..you should go to a muslim country and see what happens when you mock their God.

[soconcerened]

I believe that our country was founded by Christians, for Christians. That is at least what all of the textbooks I studied said.

And those same people are the ones that claim the earth is 6500 years old and all life, birds, fish, elephants, man arrived on earth "abruptly and fully formed"

"If any group (regardless of its purpose or membership requirements) has access to school property, for activities not associated with academics or athletics, then all groups should have the same access. One obvious exception with be groups formed with the expressed purpose of harming others."

I would think many people would agree that Religion falls into the category of the "expressed purpose of harming others".


Ha Ha

I agree

[johndevinejr]

It is a good decision. republicans / conservatives have been working hard for 30 years to codify their religious beliefs in secular law.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. But the government should not be involved in religion in any way.
