This is absolute insanity on all levels by Judge Worley. This is an educated man. There is NOTHING unloving or radical about the Greek Orthodox faith. He should be applauded for exposing her to different cultural experiences. I am a Christian. I love my Greek friends, their food, music, traditions and faith. They have been joyous, hard working friends. He had shared custody-how dare the court deem him unfit??

This is America and it’s constitutionally wrong to deny a father rights to see his child because he’s an Orthodox Christian!!!

Fully supporting this father and his daughter. Where is the freedom of religion?

This “judge” has no business telling this Greek family how to parent. Greek/Americans are knowledgeable and educated and centered in their faith and love of family. This can’t be happening. Is this a joke?

We should not discriminate against anyone and there belief system. This is a free country! Because the father has morals, ethics and values teaching his child he should not be penalized, his compassion and love are much better than hating, guns and fighting and what’s out there these days! I have been an Orthodox Christian all my life, no one should take that away from someone, that’s discrimination, maybe the mother needs some religion in her life maybe she doesn’t believe, so does that make it correct? This is ridiculous of the judge and the mother, she married this man and knew what she was getting into when she married him! The Greeks wrote the New Testament and was translated to the English, they know a lot just look at the dictionary most all of our words are derived from the Greek and Latin words. The Greeks are very smart people, you can pick up a rock and fine Greek communities and churches all over the world, they form communities and are wonderful, hard working folks with morals, ethics and values. Have mercy upon this man, sending our prayers and praying hard in Jesus Holy name we Thank you for what your doing Lord

This is an injustice that Antonis did not have a fair trial. This judge needs to get versed in the orthodox religion and the culture and traditions of the Greek community before making such a harsh verdict.

Judge Worley's decisions, thus far, have shown a complete disregard for the civil rights of Antonios Hondroulis. This is blatant religious discrimination.
