samuelbaker- Here's another link regarding the mismanagement at Hostess. Not that you'll read it or look at unions with an open mind since you've obviously made up your mind about them already. Oh and by the way, as an air traffic controller (not in Chattanooga), I'd say my job is very "real", very competitive and certainly pays well, among other things...
And why do anti-union people always make the claim that union bosses are the only ones making the money? In my union, our leaders pay is voted on by the union members...
Jack Dennis, the burden of proof in your case lies with the person making the claim. The bible claims jesus rose after death. It is not up to the non-believer to prove it didn't happen, it is up to the believer to prove that it did.
You know, I get really tired of all the religion blamers in our society
I get tired of all the religious injectors in our society.
In response to human fallenness comes the desire for power, wealth, control and dominance.
Their called politicians and most of them identify as Christians.
If you guys want to take away Christ then let's just all quit Christmas altogether and go on with life as if the Christ event/mythical fairytale to some of you good people, never occurred and does not matter. By the way, then Dec. 25th HAS TO BE ANOTHER WORK DAY!
It is another work day for: police officers, firefighters, nurses, doctors, air traffic controllers, pilots, hospitality workers and the list goes on. Both my wife and I worked on the 25th and it didn't bother me one bit. I've always thought it was strange that the gov't gave special consideration to celebrating christmas and making it a holiday. It does seem to be endorsing and favoring one religions holiday doesn't it?
If pastor Reid controlled what went on inside--nothing--and the violence took place on the street which Mayor Littlefield 'provided,' perhaps the problem is that our Mayor cannot control the street?
I'm dumbfounded that you're actually trying to defend this "church" Andrew. You, the super-holy-roller is putting the blame on the Mayor and not the club providing offensive music and using scantily clad women to "reach out" to at risk youth.

I think Littlefield will run into some constitutional issues trying to shut down a church.
It's not a church. Remember, Mr. Reid didn't want to be labeled a church so his 990 shows him running a generic, family counseling non-profit. Even then, what in the world does the constitution have to do with shutting down a facility that is known for having multiple disturbances resulting in violence?
Apparently my first comment was deleted. I'm guessing it had to do with a youtube link of a performance, by a "musician" named Gucci Mane. Gucci performed at Fathom back in July 2011. His performance, which can be easily found on youtube, was laced with the "f" word, "n" word, etc...Not exactly what you'd expect from a venue touting this as it's mission statement:
The Mission
Fathom/Warehouse shares Christ’s love with youth through creative programs and mentoring relationships that are culturally relevant and eternally significant.
But it's not a church. I forgot, it's a different type of "non-profit"....yep
Tim Reid, you're a disgrace and I hope they shut your "non-profit" down.

You know how I know this story is garbage? Because active duty members don't pay premiums. At least not when I served...

JAHCHILD-
Your comment has got to be the most disgusting thing I've ever read on this website. Absolutely appalling...
Proselytizing

And Andrew, if theocracies were such a successful way to run a government we'd have more left in the world than just, umm who's left, Iran maybe?
