The Court explained the problem with his writings (People v. Ruggles. 1811.): an attack on Jesus Christ was an attack on Christianity; and an attack on Christianity was an attack on the foundation of the country; therefore, an attack on Jesus Christ was equivalent to an attack on the country!
David BartonIn 1965, in Reed v. Van Hoven, a court determined (237 F.Supp. 48. W.D.Mich. 1965.) that it was permissible for students to pray over their lunch at school so long as no one knew they were praying - that is, they couldn't say words or move their lips, but they could pray only if no one knew about it!
David BartonThereโs a passage that I love in Romans 1. โฆ [I]t talks about homosexuality and it says that they will receive in their bodies the penalties of their behavior. โฆ The Bible [is] right every time โฆ and thatโs why AIDS has been something they havenโt discovered a cure for or a vaccine for. โฆ And that goes to what God says, โHey youโre going to bear in your body the consequences of this homosexual behavior.โ
