The name of Jesus is not welcome in the Johnson Space Center newsletter, according to a complaint filed on behalf of a group of Christians who work for NASA.
The JSC Praise & Worship Club was directed by NASA attorneys to refrain from using the name 'Jesus' in club announcements that appeared in a Space Center newsletter.
"It was shocking to all of us and very frustrating," NASA engineer Sophia Smith told me. "NASA has a long history of respecting religious speech. Why wouldn't they allow us to put the name Jesus in the announcement about our club?"
Liberty Institute, one of the nation's largest religious liberty law firms, threatened to file a federal lawsuit unless NASA apologizes and stops censoring the name 'Jesus'.

They worshiped and served _____ and because of this _______ ?
Romans 1:25+
Today they would be abandoned in space unless they apologized profusely.
Patriots, beware of double standards, such standards condemned by the Holy Bible ! (eg. Deuteronomy 25:13)
Since Christian businesss have the constitutional protection to not have their business name associated with LGBT issues, both state and federal governments wrongly ignoring this protection imo, then although NASA does not necessarily have the same constitutional protection, NASAs concern about Christian messages should likewise be taken into consideration imo.
In fact, if TV broadcasters can show warnings similar to, ”the following information does not necessarily reflect the beliefs of this broadcaster,” then NASA can appropriately require Christians to include a similar disclaimer for Christian issues on its newsletter.
Insights welcome.
Thank you, I was only 5 so I do not recall much. However, it made my screen blurry when they were reading The Book of Genesis. Obviously, can’t do that no more.
***The Apollo 8 reading from Genesis ended up with NASA being sued by atheists.****
If I remember correctly, it was Madalyn Murray O’Hair who threw the caterwauling fit over this.
One of the astronauts said he had no problem of her reading her rebuttal from orbit in space. Just come on up!
Other names we could use.. Osee, Jesse, Joshua. All are OT variants on Jesus.
Hey NASA!
Psalm 19:1
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
indeed. or we can go to I AM, Master, Savior, Redeemer, Jehovah-Nissi, -Rohi, -Rophe, -Shalom...
i don’t think they can escape from the impact from any of those.
This isn’t your parents, or my NASA of old. It is run by a former astronaut turned hack political appointee and Moslem asskissing stooge of the closet Marxist/moslem in the Red House.
Need I say more?
Change it to “Sun of God”. That sounds more NASA-y and astronomical.
LOL!
Bosch Fawstin is a brilliant artist.
This is one more example of the incompetence of the Obama Regime. To resort to the PC book of rules instead of common sense shows Zer0 control of the situation.
I do not pretend to know another's heart, but they certainly appear to worship the creature more than the Creator.
I guess NASA employees will have to change their names if they are Jesus or Mohammed. Otherwise, it will be “__________, this is Houston. Begin reverse thruster sequence at 3 2 1 start.” “___________, do you copy?”
The Sun has enough fuel to keep the cycle wobbling along for quite a while.
Given the accelerated technological / cancerous impact humans are having upon their own genome, however, it remains to be seen whether what slithers out of the amoral slime this time will constituted “progress” or not.
In the context of Romans 1 - I’m guessing “not”.
