Keep it down back there please!

How many of us have wanted to say this on public transportations or in a store or else where. One Texas bus driver did just that and its being labeled a religious incident by many. Seems Christine Lutz was reading the Bible to her children on the way to church. She was asked to keep it down and she said she was teaching her children and she was going to continue. She was subsequently ejected from the bus and provided a ride to church.

If she was loud, it shouldn't matter what she was reading, she was being disruptive to her fellow passengers. The self-righteousness of some people astounds me. I guess they believe that just because the topic of their hyperbole happens to be religious in nature it is OK.

Ms Lutz and Liberty Legal Institute are going to lock horns with the mass transit system, calling it religious prosecution. I call it a bus driver standing up for the rights of the other passengers. Also, Ms Lutz and her children were not physically harmed - they were provided safe transportation to their destination. She is just upset that she got called out and God didn't strike the heathen down. Well, Ms Lutz, ever consider that God doesn't like you talking loud on the bus either?

All depends on how loud she was. Good luck proving that. What are the odds of any of the others passengers coming forward? Pretty low I bet.
