I swear, the leftwing scuzzies are parsing the bible down to the last punctuation mark, looking for things they can tax or for which they can require a permit. That ‘s how much they hate Christians. It ‘s all out war in their minds (of course, they have never fought one) . Don ‘t know what ‘s next... maybe a road tax for church use of the public roads?

As part of the same permit process, the NPS also mandated that churches give the Park Service 48 hours advance notice of pending baptisms.

Unconstitutional. But what's new with this criminal fake and his flying monkeys?

Seems like an issue perfectly created for massive civil disobedience. Think about it.

The National Park Service began enforcing a policy recently that required churches to obtain special use permits in order to baptize in public waters.

When did a simple description become a bureaucratic personal playground? What is it about the word "public" that entitles the government to treat different classes of "public" differently?

In public waters we can take a drink, cool our feet, sail paper boats, skip stones, wade, swim, if possible without any need of explanation or thought of permissions.

Employees of the Park Service are not assigned private playgrounds or little kingdoms. Whatever they can do, they public is also entitled to do.

This may be bold to ask, but has there been any sort of explanation given for this bizarre rule?
Or have things come to the point when our servants have decided to stage a "regulations" coup?

I don’t understand what is so bad about a permit. If anything, it would prevent two churches from showing up on the same day.

We must live on different planets. On mine, "public waters' is a term usually applied to creeks, rivers, lakes and other large bodies of waters usually larger than a swimming pool.

If you don’t want to pull a permit, don’t use a national park.

If you don't want to pull a permit, don't you dare breathe!

Muzzies can block streets three times a day though, and nobody had better say a word.

I am sick to death of needing a license and a permit for everything I do. Businesses are regulated to death. Building permits. Renovating permits. Pet license. Gun license. Drivers license. Bicycle license. Boat license. Hunting license. Fishing license. Pilot’s license. Permit to have a parade, rally, march, protest (unless you are OWS then not needed). Marriage license. Liquor license. Camping. Farming. Concealed Carry.

A permit to baptize in public water???? Who is endangered or even inconvenienced by that? Is there a place where the rivers and lakes are overcrowded with baptisms?

Voting? No permit or license or ID needed.

two churches show up on the same day? It would be great, the more the merrier.

Oh wait. Does anyone who goes swimming have to give advance notice of their plans? Or is it swimming with a purpose that they don’t like?

Wait a minute: I can SWIM in public waters with no permit but I can’t baptize in public waters without a permit. OK, makes perfectly sense to me.(?)
