Is It Wrong to Read the Bible in the Bus?
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:59:17 AM »
A passenger on a Fort Worth bus says the T. Bus Service discriminated against her religion.

Christine Lutz says she was reading her Bible to her children when the bus driver asked her to stop or get off the bus.

Lutz, a Seventh Day Adventist, and her children were on their way to church.

"She then said, 'Well I don't think this is the place or the time to do so.' And I said, 'Oh, but it's the perfect time and the perfect place since it is our Sabbath and it is the time with the Lord and therefore I'm going to continue.' And I continued," she explained.

Then, a TRE supervisor came on board. Lutz also told him that she would not stop reading. She and her family were escorted off the bus.

"This was definitely a clear cut case of persecution," she said. - Carol Cavazos, CBS

This is a case of persecution and religious discrimination. Lord, protect us your children and in need of your love and mercy. In this world, this valley of tears.

Let the name of the Lord be proclaimed.

And let His name be spoken by our lips.

1 Peter 4:14-16 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

There's more to this than just what it is.

I tried to imagine how many children did this woman read the bible to in the bus.  Let's be conservative and imagine she had two children with her, the one has to sit in the other seat.  So then she has to read the bible aloud for her children to hear her well.  And imagine the engine running and other passengers chattering too.  It must have had annoyed the neighboring passengers to listen to her.  I mean, I was just wondering why didn't she read the bible while they were still at home or somewhere else where she couldn't disturb other people.  I have nothing against the Holy Bible, for sure, but we also have to be mindful also of the other people.  The bus, the last time I know, is a public vehicle, meaning there are other people who may have different belief as we we do have.

 If it happened that I was in a bus with Michael Newdow, the atheist, and he was reading to his kids about atheism, oh, I will be so displeased.   

Or, I tried to imagine being in a bus to sit closeby to a Buddhist and all the way to my destination, I hear this Buddhist chanting, "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, nam myoho renge kyo, nam myoho renge kyo," and will go on and on!  Oh, I might explode!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
