Neutrality would of course constitute atheism.

Christians will NEVER be happy until EVERYONE is a christian.

All other religions be damned.

It's their way or the highway, and always has been.

The fact of the matter is, that if the parents of these students want their kids to go to one of these Christian bible camps, then they should do so AFTER school, just as is done with any other extracurricular activities.

The school should not promote or condemn any religious function period. And should NOT allow the students to go to such DURING school hours.

It is not the public schools place, if this had been a PRIVATE christian school, then I would expect this, but not at a public school.

And as far as the Pagan suing the school district, they have every right to do so, if the child is being harassed, has told the school about the harassment and the harassment continues, then they have right to sue because the school district did nothing to stop it. The childs safety is the schools responsibility during school hours.

She has as much right to be a Pagan, as Christians do to be Christians. Christians may not like her religion, but it does not give them the right to persecute her because of it.

Uh, excuse me...I have been a Born Again Christian Christian since OCtober 15, 1990. I don't know everything about the bible, but I am constantly learning. I do know I have never been happier, and it has nothing to do with anyone else becoming Christian.

As far as other religions be damned, that is a true statment. Jesus said himself..."I am the way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by me." No other "prophet" or religious leader ever made those claims.

Christianity isn't a religion. It is a faith. Jesus didn't come to make a religion.

What gives HER the right to interfere with the religious practices of others? They aren't stopping her from her pagan practices but she IS stopping Christians from their practices.

You mean like the Earth Day/Gaia worship festivals?

And should NOT allow the students to go to such DURING school hours.

How magnanimous of you to "allow" the children to practice their religion after school hours. Is there anything else you want to allow, like freedom of speech or freedom of the press, Your Highness?
