A Nashville church that's fighting to keep from registering its daily child ''camp'' as a state-licensed day-care center posts armed guards on the church grounds, which is raising alarms for state human services officials.

The church also defied a court order yesterday and continued with its day camp, which accommodates more than 150 children up to age 5.

Priest Lake Community Baptist Church officials say that the guards carry their weapons legally and that the state is trying to force an ''atheist'' view on the congregation by requiring it to register as a day-care provider.


Right. You need armed guards and a surveillance system for a Bible Camp. A camp for kids under 5 that lasts 12 hours a day. That's brainwashing boys and girls.

That's just bizarre.

It's not clear to me from the articles if they've always had the guards or if this is some sort of overreaction to the state trying to get the licensed or closed.

But, as a Christian and the daughter of a relatively conservative Southern preacher, that's bizarre.
