General question to anybody:

 

If a church formed based on the belief that red-headed children should be sacrificed at the age of 12 should that church be protected from prosecution by the state?

 

Yes, I do have a point. Bear with me.

Many times. Southpark does indeed provide the inspiration for much of my political ideals.

RockMom, ever attended a Baptist Church Service not counting a wedding?

It is arguable whether a person in a worship service that is over a football field away with the proper guidance is any threat to a child.

 

Ironically, Ky Supreme Court, if I recall correctly has just ruled that it is okay for child sex offenders to live within 1000 feet of schools if they were living there before the law went into effect.

 

The first sentence above would seem to indicate that you don't see the necessity to keep sex offenders away from schools.

So, you are okay with the state saying who can and cannot attend a Sunday morning worship service at church?

 

.

 

The state has technically said that the sex offender can attend a church. They've also said that no children can be around.

 

So, if the church is truly looking out for the safety of the children AND the sex offender seeking redemption then their creative minds could come up with a way.

 

However, my guess is that 99.99% of churches (including mine) would not take the necessary steps to do so.

 

I do not look at this as having anything to do with the church/state issues. Until the state says that under no conditions can the felon attend any church we have no issue IMO.

I have a completely unrelated question. If you were to attend a Christian church regularly other than a Catholic church, do you REALLY think that would affect your chances at getting to Heaven? Not trying to call you out but just wanted to get your take on the issue.

 

This will SO be taken the wrong way, but yes I do.

C'mon, RM, give us what we want. :popcorn:

Ugh! It seems I will despite my best efforts to the contrary. :lol:

 

RockMom, ever attended a Baptist Church Service not counting a wedding?

Yes. As a youngster, I spent the summers with various aunts, uncles and grandparents. I've attended Baptist, Lutheran, and Methodist services. Baptist most often, as most of my summers were spent with my grandparents and my grandfather was a die-hard Baptist, and my uncle is a Baptist preacher.

This will SO be taken the wrong way, but yes I do.

With the thread title "Rockmom Says All Non-Catholics are Going to Hades".

 

I know she didn't really say that but I wanted to create more dramatic effect.

Don’t convicted felons lose their right to vote and bear arms afford them under the Constitution? I say by being a convicted sex offender and ordered to stay away from day-care facilities or “places where minors typically congregate” that they forfeit their right to worship in a church, synagogue, or mosque.

Of course not.

 

Serpent worshipers, animal sacrifice, and bigamy all fall into the same category of religious practices that have been made illegal yet some argue should be protected under the First Amendment.

The first sentence above would seem to indicate that you don't see the necessity to keep sex offenders away from schools.

 

Your assumption is that I am not taking a position to further the argument rather than what I would actually believe.
