Religious pic removed from public school, justice prevails

Free doesn't mean exempt. As to the exercise of it, it ends where the right not to begins.
A picture doesn't compel you to worship. Now, a sign stating that all must bow to Mecca 5 times a day, under which is a large man with a sword to ensure compliance, that's compulsion.
Bullshit the method is different the intent the same.
The bottom line remains, a picture is not compulsion, any more than a picture of Einstein makes kids smart.

Einstein is not the primary symbol of a religion.
And a picture of him doesn't make kids smart. Likewise, the smart people understand that a picture of Jesus won't force the kids to become Christians.

It is a violation of the 1st Amendment establishment clause to have that picture on display in a government building.

Too bad you aren't smart enough to figure that out for yourself.
 
Progs continue their Jihad on religion on their way to making atheism the one and only state accepted religious belief

The US Supreme Court has sculptures of Moses and Solomon, time to tear it down, Book Burner?

Then all of the displays of Moses & Solomon including the 10 commandments needs to be torn down from the Supreme Court and the House and Senate Chaplain needs to go.
Never mind we have had one ever since we became a Nation in 1776.
 
Why should churches be treated any differently than any other business?

Because congress cannot interfere with the free exercise of religion, the part of the amendment you keep forgetting about, while you expand the establishment clause to attack religion instead of protect it.
Free doesn't mean exempt. As to the exercise of it, it ends where the right not to begins.

not the point. church and state are separate.
and yes a picture can be a compulsion.
add the picture to a teacher with a less than discreet religious conviction to vacuum cleaner minds like kids have and shazamm! you have religion in public school!
 
"But would you want a painting of the Taj Mahal or the Dome of the Rock taken down? those are religious structures." Not if they are being used in a secular sense. That's pretty hard to do with a portrait our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Well according to Atheists he was just a man, so why are they so butthurt about it.

and again you cant quote like a normal fucking person. Please go die in a fire.
there is no evidence he was anything else .
So why all the angst about a picture?
principle...
 
No, it isn't. and the key is establishment.
Yes, it is, and establishment is action by public goverment, which is a public school.

It's not establishment. You anti-religious types really are fragile little sissy flowers.

ZOMG A PAINTING IS COMPELLING ME TO BE RELIGIOUS!!!!!
would you say the same thing if it were a muslim prophet/deity? :eusa_whistle: :doubt:
Or a giant painting of Satan?
Well, if you want to scare the kids every day. Jesus doesn't scare kids.
bullshit! an image is an image if kids are told one is scary and one is not that is what they believe.

The Supreme Court has sculpture of Moses and Solomon (hint: da joooooooooooooooooooooos) and the 10 Commandments and not one statue of Mao, Stalin of the other Progressive Found Father Hitler, so I ask, is the Supreme Court Unconstitutional?

the kids don't understand that
the motivation maybe and sometimes is not to blatantly force kids to become Christians but suggest it .

SCOTUS display is about the law and incorporates 18 different influential sources for the law ergo it is not endorsing religion.

Sculpture figures prominently in the Corinthian architecture of the Court Building. One chamber features a frieze decorated with a bas-relief sculpture by Adolph A. Weinman of eighteen influential law-givers. The south wall depicts Menes, Hammurabi, Moses, Solomon, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius and Octavian, while the north wall depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, John Marshall, William Blackstone, Hugo Grotius, Louis IX, King John, Charlemagne, Justinian and, you guessed it, Mohammad.​

The House and Senate chaplains are supposed to be non denominational and yes, they should go since they have never had a wiccan, Hindi, shintoist, etc priest give the blessings.

Tradition is not an excuse for violations of the 1st Amendment and it is most certainly not an excuse to expand those violations.
