Just like all the others here, you need to read the link in the OP so you will have some idea what is going on. You don't seem to have much of an idea about the crime, or the fact that the kid was given a choice of punishments and he took church over prison.
Of course, I don't disagree what you say with your limited knowledge of what is going on but I sure do disagree with your not knowing what the case is all about before you go off on Christians.
Come on now, roy.
You claim to be a retired social studies teacher.
You, of all people, should know enough about government to grasp that sentences handed down in court should have no religious overtones.

It has nothing to do with one god being "better" than theother. I said making me worship someone else's god is different than asking me to worship my own god. Get it?
Actually these were my words: "Ten years probation is not a cake walk".
And my words were being forced to go to church is a copout sentence for manslaughter. Something the judge shouldn't of offered in the first place period.

You don't seem to get it: the offer was 10 years probation, ancke bracelet, making speeches, drinking monitoring and the church. You seem to think his entire sentence was to go to church.

That's fine, but the judge by law is not allowed to force someone to go to church.
