    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.

    This page allows everyone to understand the meaning of religious freedom in America. It explains a range of subtopics including Constitutional rights in public as well as denying the right to vote on a specific religion. Each individual has their own right to believe in what they want, and it explains how the government can't interfere with that.

    Getting an education isn't just about books and grades -- we're also learning how to participate fully in the life of this nation. (Because one day we are going to be in charge!) But in order to really participate, we need to know our rights -- otherwise we may lose them. (nmw) These are the rights that come with religious freedom and what it's all about.

    I have never really known the true definition of religious freedom until I looked at this sight. It defines it in what I believe layman's terms. Most people these days have religious tolerance, meaning people don't care what religion a person is as long as they don't bring it out into the public.

    We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.

    While many are protesting Twitter's new censorship attempt, they are not seeing that it will actually help preserve freedom of speech in the US rather than censor it. The only countries that would be held to the certain censorships are ones that request it per religious, historical, or cultural reasons. So, freedom of speech on Twitter will be opened up in the US rather than restricted by the international growth.

    The "contraception mandate" requires private health plans to provide access to contraceptive drugs with no exception for religious beliefs. This includes the private health plan used by the Catholic Church when they don't believe in contraception of any form.

    This article touches on both gay marriage and polygamy, comparing and contrasting the two. It alludes that polygamy would be the next practice to be legalized if gay marriage is legalized. It also discusses how removing the religious aspect from marriage may lead to removing the religious aspect from human culture, leading to a totalitarian society.

    The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a fifth graders right to distribute invitations to her church's Christmas party. The school had banned the student from distributing the invitations citing the invitations contained religious materials. The court's decision was based on the First Amendment's right to free speech.

    This is wrong. Children just want to have fun and celebrate holidays together. I feel like holding children back from celebrating what they believe in can make them feel ashamed in their beliefs. This reminds me of how in most schools, kids aren't even allowed to bring in home made snacks for birthdays and its disturbing.
  • Davina Moyer on 01 Sep 13
     
    Children just know it's a party and that the picture on the card is pretty. What if the invitation had a Jewish or Medieval Norse design would they have gone after it the same way. Was it only because the party was for his church. This is just silly.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    Yes, invitations should not play a role in school policies. Taking the freedom of creativity from the child would be a dishonor to their freedom.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    I find that the student should be able to hand out invitations to a Christmas party as long as she isn't putting down other students beliefs or religious views why should this innocent act be banned?
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    I agree that student's should be able to learn of and encourage the religious beliefs of their classmates. How do we expect to raise well rounded individuals if we raise them to treat religion with such a hush hush attitude?
  • Nicolas Buenrostro on 02 Sep 13
     
    Being in a public school system, no religion should be enforced at all. These were Christmas invitations, inviting the students to a church event imposing the Christian belief system. This could have been done outside of school or elsewhere. This situation would only be okay if it was conducted in a private religious school, where public money does not fund the institution.

    Article concerning the rights of parents to have influence over their children's moral and religious upbringing. The issue specifically covered is a parents right to restrict a child's participation in school activities based on freedom of religious practice.
  • Kat Brock on 28 Jan 12
     
    This is an argument that my partner and I are constantly having, whether or not a parent should apply heavy influence to their child's moral and religious beliefs. I have always felt that a child should be able to be exposed to as many religions as possible, but he feels as though his beliefs should be pressed upon our child. It's a good debate.

    The Pope spoke to American bishops recently about the topic of religious freedom in America. It was described as "eroding" and the bishops are allegedly feeling the heat of openness to gay marriages among other things. The only "religion" I noticed the Pope mentioning concern for, however, was Christianity.
