Elfie, all I did was say look for the story on FOX News and give you some background. Did I ever say they were not free to practice what they believe? This is America (well, at least for the time being) and they can worship away to their hearts content.
Allen Bates is very media savy and this is the first in a series of Satan endorsed messages.
Sorry for the really late reply on this one. I completely forgot about this thread.
The message isn't what you think it is rpm. Those who believe in the Bible also believe that Satan hates God. After all, God tossed Satan from Heaven. Satan hates the Church because it teaches the word of God and teaching folks the word of God keeps them from Satan's evil clutches.
I think they could have worded that sign much better than they did. I know what they mean, but others who don't go to church won't know that.
I've read their church doctrine at their website and I don't think we have a bunch of devil worshipers on the loose there.
As far as your question goes, no you didn't say they weren't free to worship as they choose, yet your initial post came across as having a lot of angst over this sign. (At least that's how I perceived it, my apologies it that wasn't the case.) That's why I made the comment that I did.
