What the entire country needs to realize is that this nonsense about separation of church and state in completely un-American. It comes from article 52 of the Soviet Union's constitution!

Soviet Constitution

My first thought was to just tell the atheists to go to he!! but I don't suppose that'd be effective, would it.

[NoClones]

more of these fringe-running, wacko groups roosting here in wisconsin...

it must be the cold that affects their minds that way

[In veno, veritas]

I actually agree with them, but not on the First Amendment debate. The Feds shouldn't fund any program like this, the states however, should have that right.

[anniegetyourgun]

Is it my imagination, or has the discrimination and harassment of Christian organizations stepped up in the last 36 months?

I wonder how much Federal money goes to muslim, hindu, etc. groups that are working in THEIR communities to help at- risk kids. I would imagine these local groups, regardless of faith, are better able to help them some massive bureaucracy in Washington that just sends a check to the family.

[warchild9]

Forget about the Soviet Constitution. Where does it say in OUR Constitution that my property can be taken from me at gunpoint to be given to someone else for funding the tutoring of ANYONE. Let's see...that's Article...hmmm...doesn't exist. How about that!

"It is vital to buttress the Jeffersonian 'wall of separation between church and state' which has served our nation so well."

What about the Constitutional protection of religion?

[lilylangtree]

Unbelievable at the lengths of what the Murray O'Hair disciples will do.

"Mentoring to convert is not a suitable social service to be provided by the government,"

Yes, it's much better to just let these "at-risk" youth committ felonies and go to prison. Better to have them rape, rob and kill then to believe in God and themselves.

[muawiyah]

These guys are going to keep harrassing religious organizations until they can have sex with the kids aren't they?!

[Bullish]

This atheist group is very lucky that Christian groups don't behave like Muslim groups, because if they did you wouldn't hear a peep out of these swine.

[Colosis]

Evil is as evil does.

[DoughtyOne]

Let me guess.

Homosexual mentoring no problem. Christian mentoring bad.

Whatever happened to the no prejudice stance regarding sex, race or religion? Weren't the leftists the ones that always screamed from the high heavens this was the highest of ideals?

So much for their credibility, but then what credibility?

[VOA]

"Atheists sue to stop Christian mentoring"

Gosh, students might actually listen to their Christian mentors...
(horror and shock at the ACLU)

[Tealc]

The Wisconsin-based atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation

Holy politics, Batman! At least they don't pretend to be anything other than peddlers of freedom from religion. However, they can shove it. :)

[Doe Eyes]

I'm sure we would all support a federally funded atheist mentoring program.

[Nodoginit]

Don't you people know??? It takes a village of atheist wackos to raise a child!!!

[crazyhorse691]

Our Constitution was very purposefully written to be a godless document, whose only references to religion are exclusionary.
_______________________________________________________________

Sounds like a lawyer statement. Not true. The preamble contains many traces of religion. Harder to pick out religion in the rest of the Constitution as it lays out the framework for building the government.

[risk]

At least it's not faith based muslim mentoring.
