A judge in the US has ordered a baby's first name to be changed from Messiah to Martin, arguing that the only true messiah is Jesus Christ...
​
so much for separation of church and state.
I can understand concern for the child having a stupid name but issuing a decree that the childs name be changed because:
"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ,"
seems a bit off.
