The First Amendment has always been interpreted as the state should not favor a specific religion over others. When a teacher who is acting on behalf of the state (and working in a state facility with an audience provided by the state) decides to promote a particular religion that constitutes a fir...

The First Amendment? They got that wrong? That is what this is actually about. I'm proposing that perhaps if the First Amendment is being interpreted as prohibiting teachers from teaching their students about God, then perhaps either the First Amendment or the interpretation thereof might be wrong....

No one is commanding you not to speak. Certainly not the government. They are simply saying there is a time and place and while you are employed by the state and working with a captive audience on behalf of the state and in a state facility. Then that is neither the time nor the place. Maybe the go...

Perhaps that woman should go to an Amish or Old Order Mennonite church that took a stance against raised pulpits.

Thank you, Ken_sylvania and Josh. The libraries in question are public places, funded by the state. We would expect them to operate under a different set of values than what we as Christians/the church would. Why do we act so shocked and disgusted when the world reveals its values?

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. No ...

Is your Bible missing Romans 13? I never saw anything in Romans 13 about not sharing the gospel. What for Bible do you have?

So in essence, you do it or at least don’t see an issue within a certain range of noncompliance. I am pretty positive you speed yet you agreed by receiving your license to follow the laws. Exactly the same scenario on paper. Again, what is actually enforced will dictate if you keep your job or not....
