And since you look down on drug use, I would assume you don't use them... so what is your excuse? Hey man... just my opinion, know what I'm saying?
You were speaking about what you believe within a government-run institution (unless it was a private school - was it?) without the explicit consent of the parents of those kids for you to trod out your religiously-based material. If you were, at all, "bringing kids to Jesus" or had any intention of doing so, and you didn't have the express permission of the parents whose kids you were proselytizing to, then you could find yourself in hot water, easily. If my kid came home and told me he got explicitly preached to in class, with a clear prescription to adopt an entire worldview, you can bet I'd be calling to talk to the school, and if I didn't like what I heard, my next call would be to a lawyer.
So what? What does this have to do with my point? I mean... I know why you dodged my actual point... because I was RIGHT. Taking "In God we Trust" off of money doesn't make it "atheist money" - which is what you implied was being attempted by the people putting forth the litigation. Only a fool would believe that was what was going on... I handily displayed this, and you decided to reply to a different point entirely. This is common theistic behavior - and you guys then go on to wonder why people can't take you seriously. Amazing.
You seem assumptive, for example, "I didn't have parental permission to proselytize." Even if I did not, your attorney would have to do some hard climbing to separate me from my protected freedoms of speech, religion, right to associate, etc.
I didn't say, "taking God off money makes it atheist money". Money is neither religious nor secular in itself. I said, "When atheists complain about God printed on money, should they pursue those claims in a court of law, they would be anti-religious claims based on the legal principle of
res judicata, and thus a religious objection".
This leads to a larger point for RF. It is overly convenient to say "atheism is not a religion," thus allowing atheists:
* To say their RF memberships are NOT to conduct anti-religious business, that is, religious business
* To dodge the no proselytizing rules at RF "all religion is stupid, your religion HAS TO BECOME no religion, yet I'm not proselytizing (CONVERTING YOU RELIGIOUSLY)
