ORRINGTON, Maine (PNN) - February 8, 2025 - A judge in Maine stunningly has ruled that a mother is forbidden from taking her daughter to any church not approved by her ex-boyfriend.
The legal team at Liberty Counsel has confirmed it launched an immediate effort to overturn the decision that violates multiple court precedents.
The report from Liberty Counsel uses pseudonyms to keep the identities of the mom and child private.
What happened is common: mom and dad had a daughter 12 years ago, they broke up, even before the daughter was born, and "everything was fine" until the mom and daughter started attending church.
"When [the daughter] began wearing T-shirts emblazoned with Bible verses to her father's house, the father rushed to the local family court, declaring those shirts to be 'religious paraphernalia,'" the team reported.
He claimed that being baptized was "indoctrination".
A large part of his complaint was that the church, Calvary Chapel of Bangor, "teaches the [B]ible chapter by chapter, verse by verse."
To push his own religious ideology, he "hired a former (Kalifornia) State University sociology professor to testify that Calvary Chapel is a 'cult,'" Liberty Counsel confirmed, with a demand that the court ban the mom from taking the daughter to that church.
Then the judge stepped up to the campaign.
"Outrageously, the anti-God judge in this case was more than happy to oblige. The judge spent 11 pages excoriating Calvary Chapel of Bangor, and quoting a former Marxist sociology professor's assertions that Bible-teaching churches like Calvary Chapel are 'Moses Cults' that 'harm' children. The judge ruled that [the mom's] religious beliefs 'eclipsed her ability to make decisions that are in [her daughter's] best interests,' because [the mom] had testified that her daughter's belief in God was 'more important than anything.'"
The outlaw judge unlawfully demanded that the mom never take the daughter to Calvary Chapel - "or any church that does not meet [the dad's] approval - ever again."
Liberty Counsel explained Calvary Church of Bangor was founded by Pastor Ken Graves, a "God-honoring man" and does teach the Bible.
In fact, Liberty Counsel defended the church when "Governor Janet Mills threatened to arrest and imprison anyone who attended church during the (non-existent) COVID (pandemic)."
The legal team cited the FPSA Constitution, "hundreds of years of legal precedents, and even the Maine Supreme Court", which all say the government may not prevent a parent from raising a child in his or her own faith.
Ed. Note: It is way past time for these radical criminal judges who seek to impose their own sick views on people to be convicted of their crimes, thrown off the bench, have their pensions taken away and their property seized, and be imprisoned for their unlawful actions. Enough is enough. Stop obeying these criminal judicial activists. Refuse to comply. Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
