Queen Prawn Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Unless the guy was pulling a Ned Flanders and trying to do a Baptism on someone who doesn't want it, I don't understand what the big deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWeltall Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia also said in a statement: "If the park rules allow people to wade and swim in the river, then they must allow baptisms in the river." What are the odds this tidbit makes it in a conservative or religious reporting of the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure why the ACLU doesn't PR that a little more. Most people see them as liberal hippies who care more about the right to screw a chicken than a small group of kids who want to meet once a week at their public school to pray.... that's all I'm saying.

I used to think a lot worse of the ACLU, but the more I have thought about it, the more I realized an organization like that is what separates us from the rest of the world. The fact that they are so hated, means that they do the job of protecting freedoms for things we don't like, and they do it well. Granted I don't agree with rights for child molesters and the like, but if they didn't stand up for them, who would? And then were would their "freedoms" be?
