"Most of us are, and the courts aren't going to back away from declaring your new personally recognized religion a manifestation of a psychological problem requiring treatment."

Christianity may be treated as a "manifestation of psychological problem" in this country in the future. It's happened in other places. It happened in the Soviet Union and it has happened in China.

You can claim that baring your nipples on TV during the Superbowl is an expresion of religious freedom, too, but it won't get you very far.

Reason being that judges and juries know horse exhaust when they see it.

Covering your head modestly is about as far as is possible to get from exposed nipples, exposed thong underwear, exposed tattoos on your kiester, exposed navels (pierced or unpierced), and in general dressing like a prostitute or a criminal in the schools. Let the teachers go after that, is my opinion.

" It happened in the Soviet Union and it has happened in China."

So did socialism. I'm not bending to any folks that would impose their will on me to make me a serf, wear polyester pants(even though what I do wear is not a religious matter), or tell me I can't practice what I believe in. This is a Free country and I will do what I can to protect Freedom and oppose the various sorts of petty tyrants.

Christianity is a historical religion and is bounded by the truth in it's essence, content and logic. So is science.
