Come
on. Are these tits and tats really what this list is for? A little

I
haven't read the opinion yet, but it sounds like a tacit judgment on the
sincerity of the belief. Church of Body Modification,

I've
seen that in RFRA and RLUIPA cases: an almost neurotic reluctance to call a
bogus "religion" a spade. Makes for messy jurisprudence, but by and large
the cases seem to come out right.

Yeah,
I believe it. That website raises an interesting question (not a new
one). One of the "ministers" says the piercing of his flesh was a
spiritual experience . . . fine, whatever. I'd wager the Church of Jim
Beam has a vastly wider membership. Anyone can dress up a hobby in

instead because of mainstream Western orthodoxy w/r/t such piercings (ok on
ears, not-so-ok on other parts of the face). I'm not sure how this would

have generally sided with employers in s
I guess that would count
for whatever weight the jury gives it. With the right (wrong) jury, it
might be evidence of redemption or whatever. Why withhold the information

You say religion of peace. Perhaps you mean religion of pacifism (not the same, see Brish Quakers circa 1939). Thus rephrased, point taken.

You
raise a lot of good points. In response only to point (5): The
notion that proselytizing is more suspect because it may be received as
"offensive and unwanted" (I agree with that premise) seems to me either to
ignore or to reject something at the heart of the endeavor. Proselytizing

Title: Re: Huntington in WSJ re Under God
I take his point to be simply that religious outsiders may feel like outsiders because they are outsiders. A pretty uncontroversial point as far as it goes, if not often said in polite company. More interesting is the tacit corollary, a challenge to
Could as likely result in cacophony, which is less
benign.
Doug's point is half-persuasive. Church bellsdo not
generally chime for a long stretch five times every day; if they did, you can

The
district court's reasoning, which Virginia wisely disavowed, would preclude a
lot more than dietary allowances in state institutions. Asnoted in
theappellant's briefs in Madison, and asJudge Wilkinson

Contempt is a strong word. Is it fair? One can perhaps imagine an orthodox Jewish writer who is called on to write out the name of God, and asks not to be forced to choose between his vocation and his religious scruples. (I welcome more graceful
I
mean we have parallel systems of union, civil and religious. I think
you're saying there's overlap between them. Sure there is, but the civil

incorporates the other by reference doesn't change that, to my
mind.
