I don't think I'm digging this so much.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/11/montana-church-service-moved-liberal-ville-county-fair-grounds-complaints/?test=latestnews
| Rebecca Markert, staff attorney for the atheist/agnostic group Freedom From Religion, said, “Anyone who went to the church service received free admission to the county fair, which is a violation of the Civil Rights Act. It discriminates against non-churchgoers.” |
| According to Steve Earle, director of the Missoula County Fairgrounds, the churchgoers did receive free admission – but so did every other Sunday morning fair attendee. The fair does not offer churchgoers any special privileges, Earle told FoxNews.com. |
Even though I'm kind of a hardcore atheist I don't see any reason for picking on these folks other than just being big atheist meanies.
Thoughts?

Eh, it's Fox Fraudcasting. Who knows what the actual story is. And Atheists, being human, can be just as assholish as anyone else.

Found this from their local paper http://missoulian.com/news/local/article_8a0ffcd2-a29f-11df-9e04-001cc4c03286.html.
I see no mention of all Sunday morning fairgoers getting in free like Foxnews claims. As long as either everyone or noone gets in free on Sunday morning I personally do not have any problem with them worshipping and having lame-ass Christian rock concerts. I think it would be nice to balance it out with some good Satanic music like SLAYER!!! too. |

Recently, in an email discussion with a believer, he actually linked to a Stryper video as if it made some point of his.  |

If his point is " Christian rock is really lame" then linking to a Stryper video is compelling evidence. |
