"Forcing anything , be it a bible or a roll of toilet paper, on those who do not want to receive it, fundamentally hurts."

I don't believe force was an issue.

"A federal judge ordered a small-town school to suspend a program that gives free Bibles to students..."

This is a freedom of speech issue.

Would you consider a politician offering bumper stickers and pins on the street corner fundamentally threatening?

Would you consider a school offering free condoms to students an act of forcing them to have sex?

Is your fear in the Bible itself?

There is not only freedom of speech but also the freedom not to listen. Ponder upon it at leisure. When in my elementary school years in the thucking USSR they in a similar manner were passing their ideological crap, a copy given to me always ended in the school toilet.
