I knew there was a reason I stopped going to church :)

Seriously, there are several sides to that coin, from a religious standpoint.

I am trying to picture the guy from the Crystal Cathedral, with all the talented music he had each week, packing an uzi under his purple robe.

If you notice, something is printing under the robe.

Under the terms of the sale, the building and most of the campus will continue to be used by Crystal Cathedral Ministries for up to three years before being renovated for use as a Roman Catholic cathedral. In June 2012, the diocese announced that "Christ Cathedral" is the intended new name for the church.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just met with Cody over lunch today to talk about setting up a campus security program at my church. He is very knowledgeable and a great guy, and I would strongly encourage folks to contact him with questions.

Here is his website: http://www.avoidthefight.com/

Again + 1 on Cody.....One day we will have the "stones" to challenge the Unicameral on changing this bogus part of the law.   The "Separation of Church and State" (not in the Constitution mind you) is good enough for the PC crowd when it comes to disallowing prayer in schools, but seems to have no bearing on a Church on THEIR PRIVATE property.....

Indeed!   The pretext for suppressing a Christian's exercise of their 1st Amendment rights in public schools settings was  the assertion that John Q Public wouldn't be able to distinguish between Congress passing laws and School boards creating policies.  This is a classic example of using twisted logic to stand the 1st Amendment on its head.   Christian students had, for over two centuries,  practiced their religion in public schools, wrote school papers about their Faith and experiences, prayed over their meals, and even at school events.  For two centuries politicians and citizens understood what the 2st Amendment said and meant. 

Suddenly, the School Boards had to establish regulations forbidding that which had been a Constitutional right for centuries, and really still is, doing in effect what Congress cannot do, pass laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion or establishing a religion.  It was a clever back-door attack by the ACLU, and the tactic has been repeated several times on other political topics, including the 2nd Amendment.  It is rare that the ACLU will support a "Founding Fathers" position  on a question concerning the Constitution.  They are a bunch of clever lawyers but they aren't smart enough to see that they are cutting their own throats.
