Fundies Slam TM™ Judge

File under: The Siddhi of PR

That bulwark of spiritual ignorance impeding progress and cultural evolution, the American Family Association, is going after the judge who sentenced a crack-smoking vote defrauder to a course in TM™. Actually, it's TMSM, or Transcendental Meditation Stress Management, and not affiliated with the Madharishi anymore.

Leading the charge for the AFA is lawyer Brian Fahling:
"You've got a governmental actor who's ordering an individual to participate in something that perhaps may run contrary to their own particular beliefs and belief system." Still, the attorney says he is not really surprised by the judge's order because it is consistent with a larger trend toward secularization that is progressing in America.
Wait a minute... The government is ordering an individual to participate in something that is being construed as a religious belief, yet the fact of this is evidence of the progressing secularization of America?

We guess the guy is as uptight about his idea of religion as he looks in his photograph. Who'da thunk that?

What he means to say is that TM™ is the wrong religion. They all are... except his. There is no doubt the guy would be flipping cartwheels if the judge had sentenced the girl to attend a Southern Baptist church instead. It would have been much harsher outcome for the poor thing if you asked us.

Exremely well put. The comment about secularization knocked me out. I am a Christian and am against prayer in school, or the teaching of religion in school, because what religion would it be? It has to be none or all. And all would take a mighty long time!
