What happened to separation of church and state?!?

It apparently happened in Tennessee where there is no separation of church and state.

I love that they have a problem with the babies name in Cock County.

OMG, I hadn't even noticed that! LMAO!

Not as obvious as Cocke County. But still, in a largely Christian populated community and all.

The Judge is overstepping here. But then again is this kid going to grow up being called Messy for short?

I could understand a first name change if the parents had named the kid Fucktard. But Messiah? That's an appeal waiting to happen....
