Festivus for the rest of us has been approved as a religion by a judge in California? Reaction?

The DA told the judge that Seinfeld had made it up, but the judge approved it and determined that prison officials had to respect prisoners' beliefs. http://www.abajournal.com/weekly/article/calif._ju...

    And people wonder why so many (including myself) thinks that the Justice system in this country is one of the biggest jokes. Just b/c some stupid Hollywood Celebrity said something now all of a sudden it's accepted. Why don't we just have people worshipping Hollywood Celebrites instead of God since that's what so many people do anyway. Lets make special places to worship them.

    Festivus makes a lot more sense than Christianity. Since the main purpose of the Constitution is to protect the minority from the majority, refusing a more sensible religion the right to exist would be a bit insane, wouldn't it? (An since religion CAN'T be the law of the US, we HAVE to go with the saner approach.)

    Actually, Seinfeld didn't creat it.

    It started in 1966 , invented by a future Seinfeld writer

    California also said that Ebonics was an official language and had teachers learn it until the huge majority of African-Americans people said it was demeaning.

    The Left-coast "judges" are well-known for legislating from the bench, so even this is not surprising.

    Reaction?

    Impeachment.

    Source(s): Confess your sins to God, truly sorry for offending His love for you, and ask His forgiveness. He will! Turn from your sins proving your repentance is real, in faith trusting Jesus took the punishment on a cross your sins deserved. He delights in forgiving all who ask, as often as they ask, even empowering you with His Holy Spirit to do what He commands. Otherwise, if you lose eternal life, it will have been by your own choosing. He made the way for your sins to be forgiven. Read how the Bible says to be right with God, Matthew 4:17; Luke 24:46-47; Romans 2:4-5; Romans 3:23-24; James 2:10; Hebrews 9:27; 1 John 1:8-9; Romans 5:8; Romans 10:9-10; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; John 3:36; 1 John 5:11-13 So then, each of us will give an account of them self to God. Romans 14:12

    Right on. You technically can't discount someone's belief, no matter how far-fetched it is. I mean, all of religion is far-fetched, and it still gets respect under the law. There you have it.

    Because all religions are so silly, if you respect one, you have to respect them all.
