This guy isn't the government.He is a citizen.He was utilizing his right to free speech.Now,if one of the council members had done this,it would be different. "You can't go the podium and start reading from the bible" says everything.

I never said he was the government, just the opposite.

Such meetings are inappropriate situations for reading the Bible. We don't live in a theocracy. That meeting was about government, and reading the Bible there is wrong. Just as some libbie jerk spouting off about abortion in a church would be.

Render unto Casesar what is Casesar's and all that.

Let's keep religion and government separate

You bring up seperation of church and state with this comment.Seperation of church and state is meant to keep government from interfering in or establishing religion. You are saying that this citizen can't or shouldn't bring up religion in a government setting when HE(not the government) has every right to do so.

I am not a "Constitutionalist" hard core republican actually - but at what point did the actions of our first pres become absolutely forbidden?

George Washington quoted scripture very very frequently, at all types of events and occassions - as was the norm until this current zeal for anti-Christianity...
