Church attendance by Obama’s GIVE ‘volunteers’: Verboten!

Doubtless the naive and the cynical think that those of us concerned about the ramifications of HR 1388 are blowing our concerns way out of proportion and are irrationally fearful. 

Not so much. 

The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.  

 From the bill itself:

 SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS. 

Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:

SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.

(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:

(1) Attempting to influence legislation.

(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.

…

(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

They also didn’t neglect to add “such other activities as the Corporation may prohibit”.  

 America, WAKE UP! What is wrong with you?

Christians especially,  I dare say.
