God's own appointed justicar valiantly fights on

We'll start planting soon. We're kinda in a lull for the moment.

Shouldn't godlessness in schools be celebrated?

Isn't it mandated in the constitution or one of those important documents the government & government programs are supposed to care about?

Not really, it should be the default position leaving celebrations for something exceptional.

Isn't it often claimed it's "freedom of religion" not "freedom from religion"?

 

[Narz]

I was thinking of separation between church & state (the schools being run by the state).

I guess it depends on how individuals interpret it. Some think "freedom of religion" means you can choose any religion you want, as long as you choose something. But doesn't it actually mean that the state (meaning the federal government) does not have the right to impose a religion on the people? That would imply that they are not only free to choose what they do believe, but also what they do not believe - in essence, freedom from religion.

There was a recent Supreme Court decision in Canada that's rippling through every municipal government that has, or used to have, a prayer to open every meeting. They're not supposed to do this anymore. Some municipalities have complied, while others have not.

Ah, no more multiculti and reasonable access/accommodation? Too hard so the law will side with a sole culti and decree the others banned from that specific space? That argument that one culti isn't actually a culti so long as it wins?

"culti"?

 

[BvBPL]

Plural of "cultus" meaning a cult.

New word for me too.

 

[Borachio]

Then why does he make use of it as a singular noun? "A sole culti"?

I'd have suggested the Scottish diminutive, but that would more properly be "cultie".

 

[Narz]

I'm gonna use culti for my cult, sounds less serious/threatening than cult. Like a combo of cult & cutie.
