I just spotted this as one of the secondary articles on CNN's website.

Judge outlaws prison group\'s Bible program

That's disgusting. How are they going to leave prison if they don't have God?

Fools.

I don't really have a problem with this, if some remember there was an article a few months ago about a man who was 'alternatively sentenced' to one of these Bible-based programs run by some evangelical group. The man was a Catholic and refused to convert, he was told if he didn't get baptised again his counselor would make sure he returned to prison. Maybe these programs need to be done away with as they aren't properly monitored by anyone.
