    I think the point Hught is trying to make is that IF Kent is doing as he says on the job, that may not be legal. Personally, I enjoy Kent's posts, as I do many others. But if he was trying to convert someone to Amway on company time, ya'll would feel a whole lot different about it. Not that I am saying Amway is the same as Christianity, but you get my point.

    The Constitution does not specify exceptions for those "being paid by, and acting as an agent of, the governement".

    The point is, the Constitution prohibits Congress from stopping Kent's practice of his religion. The Constitution does not prevent Congress from doing the same if Kent were selling Amway, unless Amway is recognized as a religion of course.

    C'mon. That's a knee-jerk reaction and you are more rational than that.:roll:

    but hasn't religion on government time been ruled to be akin to endorsement of a state religion, as in the case of prayer time at school? or the ten commandments being posted in a courthouse in alabama? wouldn't "witnessing for jesus" while on duty as a law enforcement officer fall into the same category?
