Patricia; I was not defending these people, I was in fact pointing out how ridiculous the whole thing was. The Christian fundamentalists would be relevant were they ever able to form a government and turn whatever country they did it in into a theocracy.

Strong guarantees of separation of church and state are the only defense against this sort of thing in any state where any religion is strong.

This incident is one of the best arguments there is for a secular state.

And what do Christian fundamentalists have to do with anything? I’m Pagan.

Irregardless of whether she herself named the bear or not, my point is, its ridiculous to call for the execution of this woman just because she has a bear that has the same name as a saint when there are men and boys in this world bearing that same name!

Patricia, she didn’t name it. The class came up with the name, perhaps under the same logic they should probably get a few hundred lashes as well.

Some of our christian fundamentalists can get pretty weird but I think they would fall short of calling for calling a teddy bear Jesus or moses.

I find this whole bear debacle too extreme, especially the cries that the teacher should be executed for naming the bear Mohammed! It may be a prophet’s name, but why should this be such a terrible thing? By extension, if this women deserves to die for naming a teddy bear Mohammed, then all parents who named their sons Mohammed should be executed as well. See the point I’m trying to make here? The big huff about the name of a teddy bear just seems outrageous to me.
