Just when you thought the First Amendment couldn't get more awesome, a story like this comes along:
An inmate is suing the Utah Department of Corrections for denying him his right to practice an ancient Nordic religion while behind bars. In the lawsuit, the inmate says he has been a member of the Asatru faith since 2005, and in order to properly practice it he needs items including: A Thor's Hammer, a prayer cloth, a mead horn used for drinking Wassail, a rune staff, and a sword.
Let the man have his sword, come on! Just so I have this in writing, in case I ever go to jail, I am part of a religion called "fragiluscornholacism" and I need the following things to practice this religion:
Electric prayer drill
Prayer shovel
Prayer rope (20-30 yards in length and sturdy enough to hold the weight of a man)
