The stealth American Taliban have been infiltrating Edmond, OK with the intent of taking over the health care system in that city and effectively subverting national health care reform. Christian extremists have been forcing their religion along with free health care on over 6,000 uninsured patients. What is worse, in a shocking violation of the First Amendment, the city of Edmond awards $40,000 every year to the fundamentalist religious organization that runs the clinic, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for right-wing religious extremism. Many unsuspecting patients have been seduced by these clever tactics into participating in Bible studies and other superstitious practices, some even absorbing Christian "values" like helping the poor without government authorization.

It's really quite a thing isn't it? Those pesky religious folk and their wacky idea of persuing health, happiness, and freedom of religion. They should be ran out of the country, and replaced with all those american loving middle easterners. They love America so much they burn our flags like a torch in the night. It's really quite beautiful... if you squint really hard!
“At that point in my life, the job that I had been with for three years gave me papers because they were hurting and they needed to cut,” he said. “And here I am in the middle of this rebuild, and it didn't hit me, it didn't faze me. I immediately had people praying for me, both here and within the church. I had a family from the Christmas program say, ‘Come live with us for a few months.' They were a major blessing.”

See how subversive they can be?
Disgusting, I know. RWNJs helping total strangers in the name of some imaginary sky-daddy. Bet they don't help any women, gays, or minorities though. Bigots.
If what they are doing is illegal or unconstitutional, then they will be sued and the matter will be brought before the courts. Not knowing much about it, I really shouldn't comment ... but I do believe forcing people to be indoctrinated or subjected to a particular religious dogma against their will is unconstitutional. Tax payer money must never be used to try to convert people to a particular religion.
However ...
If all the recipients of the clinic happen to be Christians anyway, and not one person makes a complaint, who cares?
It takes a complaint and a lawsuit to change this policy.

Do you have multiple personalities or are you playing a Poe, I can't tell. You'd be the first to cry persecution if anyone challenged "Christian" extremists.

Exactly. It's right there in the Constitution. But what do you expect from a bunch of half-literate okies?

One of their many victims needs to file a lawsuit. It's plainly unconstitutional to use taxpayer funds to heal sick people, without charging any fees, in the name of you-know-who. Especially if you invite them to a Bible study or a Christmas pageant afterwards. Trouble is, the victims have already been brainwashed.
