Just because the hyper-sensative want to spin the Amendment to their agenda doesn't mean they're right...If you would study the history of England and Colonial America, you just might see the reasons for the 1st Amendment...

Jesus never owned a gun. Neither did Abraham. Get a sword. Carry rocks.

The founders of this country had muskets. Your right to own a musket is not being infringed upon.

However, they will have to take my Red Rider BB Gun from my cold dead hand.

Like I said, false equivalence. We don't buy cars to hit things with them. We use them for a real and necessary job, transportation. Get over the NRA propaganda and sniff the real world.

Aggressive atheists are religious fanatics. Atheism is a religion...they believe in the big nothing...the big cosmic mistake - the big accident. I think they should keep their beliefs to themselves.

Should everybody keep their religion to themselves, or are some animals more equal than others?

Do you believe a Christian club (or any club, actually) deserves special treatment that other clubs do not get, as was the case in this example?
If the people in a given community WANT it, they are allowed, Constitutionally, to do so. It's a local issue. If you don't like it, you are free to choose not to live in that community.

See? All better now.

All they would have to do is ask...If they are denied, then they have a case against the school...I haven't seen anyone post any links that show the FFRF attacking any other religions except Christianity...A school religious club has no nothing to do with seperation of church and state as implied in the First Amendment to the Constitution...The majority of people in America really do not understand the Constitution of the United States very well...They don't even know that it is their right to abolish their government if it starts infringing on their natural rights...Government derives it's powers from the governed...

Here is an interesting quiz to take on the constitution, see how well you know the constitution:
- The U.S. Constitution, Declaration Of Independence And Washington Constitution - ProProfs Quiz


Another interesting tidbit:

The Washington state Constitution says liberties come from:

You might be surprised by the correct answer...

It doesn't say muskets, it says "arms"...

Why don't you come into the real world?...I could use either to kill someone...So, what it boils down to is not banning those items, but teaching responsible use of those items...
