"The ruling from the Fifth Court of Appeals said the display of a Bible on public ground in Houston to honor the founder of a mission has to go, not because it was unconstitutional itself, but because it became unconstitutional when a Christian group rallied around it."



Whadda a buncha hogwash! I read the opinion. It a gross mischaraterizaton to say the Court found that the Bible display became unconstitutional when a Christian group rallied around it

A few more court decisions like this week's over a display of a Bible in Houston and the United States will be approaching the "China-level" for Christian persecution, according to a leader in the midst of that battle. The ruling from the Fifth Court of Appeals said the display of a Bible on public ground in Houston to honor the founder of a mission has to go, not because it was unconstitutional itself, but because it became unconstitutional when a Christian group rallied around it. The pastor's group said that means any monument, building, or even feature of nature is an illegal "establishment of religion" if a church ceremony is held there.

Bad paragraphing on the part of the editor. It's obvious that it's saying that this is the pastor's group's interpretation.....probably based on their lawyer's viewpoints.
