This is just soooo wrong, and on so many levels.

By sentencing a man to church, he is in effect tearing down the separation between church and state -- in effect making a church the instrument by which the state carries out a sentence (what's next -- exorcisms as penalty for puking up pea soup?).

He is also subjecting the church however to the possible violence that may come from having a violent repeat offender in their midst. America needs to put an end to religion meddling in the affairs of state -- faith is a choice, not a government edict.
