    This article talks about the issues with religion in public schools. A South Carolina middle school had a school assembly based on Jesus and prayer which became a subject of legal scrutiny. Some participants embraced the assembly while others felt very uncomfortable.

    Naming your child after the "Messiah" should be a parents personal & religious freedom, but a Tennessee judge is forcing a mother to change her son's name to Martin. Religious freedom is for those who choose religion and those who oppose religion. How do we find a fair and equal balance for all.

    I'd followed this case somewhat but never from the angle of calling a child "Messiah" could infringe on the religious freedom of others. While I don't think this was the parents intention, there should be some legal mechanism in place to prevent this infringement. I think the judge in this case got it wrong in her ruling, her justifications for changing the baby's name were wrong. I do foresee a more solid legal challenge to naming children "Messiah" pushing forward.

    There is somewhat of a controversial issue here that could have this child set apart in a religious community. There are certain sects of Jewish and Christian communities that would see this as an insult and have this child's back against the wall when he came of age and none of which would be his fault. Although this is the perfect example of what a name is or can be for example Mr or Esquire which are simply titles, judgments being made on the child's name are debatable.

    I think this is a great article about personal freedom. I think you should be able to name your child whatever you like. Every religion, culture has their own name for "Jesus." Why would you make anyone change the name. I understand why some people would be against it, for religious purpose. As a U.S citizen you have the freedom to Religion.

    Very interesting topic. I am religious and find this to be ridiculous. I understand the judge may find it to infringe on a person's religious beliefs, but come on, seriously?! I think a parent should be able to name their kid whatever they want.

    A couple should be allowed to name their child whatever they want, the court should have no say in it. A name is not breaking any laws.

    As much as i feel the constitution is outdated and is failing and we should create a new version of it using modern ways of living and looking at the world, the second amendment is something that should stay. This article points out quite a few reasons on why we should keep our guns. Some of the arguments are strong but the one about Jesus was a little ridiculous. The biggest argument I can think of is, if you take the guns away, the law abiding citizens will hand them in leaving the criminals with them still and leaving everyone unarmed.
