$1,000,000 in Silver Ring Things
Archive: Christian Fundamentalism
The ACLU is suing the Department of Health and Human Services for having given over a $1,000,000 to the Silver Ring Thing.
The ACLU has complained that the programme's official rings are inscribed with verses from the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 4, 3-4, reading: “God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honour.”

Feel free to share your feelings about $1,000,000 in Silver Ring Things. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
