Indiana man loses joint custody due to being agnostic
Originally Posted by Herald Bulletin Online

It's hard to believe that this man's custody was cut from 50/50 to every other weekend plus four hours a week solely because he isn't a Christian. However, Judge Pancol mentioned Scarberry's religious affiliation not once, but twice, in his ruling. Even if it turns out that the court had other reasons for reducing Scarberry's custody other than his lack of religion, it was foolish of the court to mention Scarberry's religious affiliation in the ruling in such a manner. The courts in Indiana have left themselves open for a heck of a fight by doing so.
If Scarberry had been Jewish and his ex-wife Christian, would the courts have ruled in her favor because Christianity is the majority in Indiana? Or would they have mentioned religion at all? What if Scarberry were Muslim, would that make him less qualified as a parent?
I can't help but hope that the courts had another underlying reason for reducing Scarberry's custody. Otherwise, it's a clear and obvious violation of his 1st amendment rights.

I want more information before I pronounce pseudo-righteous unholy disgust on this one; custody battles are almost always complicated and I can't help but think this is only a small part of the story.

Trust me, in Indiana this is more than just possible, it's highly likely that this story is
EXACTLY as it sounds.

Cool! I look forward to seeing you at a few Ratz meets in the not too distant future, in that case.

How utterly loathesome.

Hey mad hatter times like these makes you appreciate you living in a country founded by pissed-up convicts NOT religious fruitcakes.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."
Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

No, it doesn't make me appreciate living here at all because we aren't that much better.
