Predict The Next Poster!

Hmm… a prognosticator (in) bed brings up wild possibilities. :wink:

No, you just get me… a little battle-scarred, but marginally here.

Nope, sorry – just the crazy cat lady. Which reminds me – let me now predict:

Crazy Cat Lady.

And what would be on sale at this prognosticator auction?

Nope,
But I made it here, if not a little late.
Hmmmm how about,

Gobear, you leaped the wrong way with what I said.

If Congress established the parks system, then the separation demands that they allow the brick. “Congress shall make no law…”

In rereading my post, I don’t see how you came to the conclusion you must have made in order ask that. :confused:

Question quoted in my post: Does SOCAS demand that religious worship should be banned from the state and national parks?

My answer (edited for increased clarity): depends on who has the authority… If Congress,… I say no.

Now, if the parks system was private, and had nothing to do with Congress, then they could enact any policy they want. Since they aren’t, tho, SOCAS applies.

Basically, gobear, I’m on your side in regards to this issue.

Of course, I am not a Constitutional lawyer. And, I consider myself Christian. So my take on the whole Q of SOCAS may be somewhat skewed.

But, the way I see it: If Congress cannot force me into or out of any religion, then it also cannot (within reason) prohibit me from worshiping as I choose. Free speech applies, too (IMHO). The brick should’ve been allowed.

“Within reason” means that some things, like child sacrifice, disturbance of the peace, dangerous activity, can be legislated against. Freedom of religion in those cases must be relative. (I’m pretty sure The Court has already dealt with that, though. What, about a hundred years ago?)


Just seeing what was on my clipboard.

Fits in with the general non-sequitur-ness of this zombie thread. :slight_smile:

Don’t prognosticate me when I’m asleep. I do different hours, you know. It’s Sunday morning 11:35 here and I ought to be in church. [I think]

Angua?

Right now, it’s 8:55 AM… and I feel like sleeping. However, I’m going to church as usual. (went to bed at 2:45 AM)
