9th Circuit believes worship creates "irreparable harm."

More lunacy from the most-overturned court in the land.

Worship = Harm?
Only the loony ninth could come up with utter cr@p like this.
BTW. As long as there are algebra exams in school, prayer will also be there.

If the taxpayers who funded the library are OK with the church group meeting there then it should be nobody else's business. I would hope that those in charge of the library are answerable to the elected representatives of the people paying the bills.

Do you really want Religion to trump all else in this country? ROP!I want freedom of religion to trump in this case. I don't care if it was Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddists, or Wiccan using that room. If it is available to one group, it is available to all. Now, if in the course of that meeting they start chanting "death to america", then there might be a case to throw them out. Do not sacrifice freedom for security, for you will lose them both.

Do you really want Religion to trump all else in this country? Judeo-Christian morals and ethics made this Republic possible. They're still needed in order to keep it.
What's the matter, is someone beating you over the head with a Bible? Forcing you to pray several times every day? Get baptised? Pay tithes?

"The injunction ordered the Antioch Library in Contra Costa to allow Faith Center the same opportunity to use library meeting rooms that Democratic Party groups and other community organizations enjoy, at least until the court can hear and decide the full case on the merits."
I wonder if this would include the Boy Scouts?
Nah! Silly me, what was I thinking?!

The 9th Circuit is certifiably insane.

I am a Christian but have noticed that Islam is being allowed to intimidate every other religion in the US by taking anybody to court because they don't agree that Mohammad is the prophet!

I'll just bet there are members of this church group that paid taxes that funded this library.
To: rocksblues
Oh.
Sorry, it's been a long day... I stumbled to that conclusion, not having the energy to jump there.

I disagree. Islam is an evil death cult, and wicca is just lunatic fringe whacko.
Freedom of religion extends only to legitimate religions.
