If the program used private monies to fund itself, I'd be 100% in favor of it. I cheer its methodology, results, and Christian compassion.

I, too, have problems with using taxpayer money to fund it. Keep government's corrupt and grubby paws off religion--government can only ruin it. What if a state decided to use millions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund a program that preached fundamentalist Islam to prisoners? Would anyone object to their tax funds supporting that?

Thats a good question. I'd support any peaceful religion although I'd greatly prefer Christian. Does Islam qualify as a peaceful religion?

I cannot understand where these courts come form on here except that their intent is to persecute Christians. America is a Christian country. Our Constitution and country was created so that people could be Christian. It also allows the exercise of other religions. It does not guarantee freedom FROM religion though.

Don't worry. Once there will be enough many Muslims they will get state funding all right.

You see, this is about Separation of CHURCH and State. Nothing said about the Mosque.
