I’m wondering just how “tolerant” many of those writing here will be if and when the students want to have an “inspirational” message delivered by a member of the Wicca faith or the Pagan faith.

The proof is that the 1st amendment clearly violates the 1st commandment.

Since the constitution was written to allow as much equality among citizens as possible, a good test of constitutional virtue is to take the reverse of the proposal and see if it still makes sense.

“I DO think it’s fundamentally right when 700 kids DO NOT want to pray in school and three are FOR it, the government sides with those three and prohibits children from having the opportunity to NOT pray to God in our schools,”

This one fails to remain sensible. Thus, it’s likely an unconstitutional position.

God is the author and the finisher of all of our lives. If it was not for him we would not be here. I prey that change will come to the mine of those that feel that we should not have prayer in school. If those who do not want that let them sent their children to private school or home school them. If they don’t believe in God let the rocks cry out for them and their families. That is the problem with the world to day. Children are brainwashed from the families that they live with to hate and one thing that we know that is the devil job to hate because God is all about love. Religion is the only way it is God way being an idiot for good is a good thing being an idiot for the devil well that is something else and yes it is a free country and that why we love God. Prey more, more power, prey little , little power God can and he will do just what he said.

I don’t understand why this is even a problem. Prayer should have never been taken out of schools in the first place. Christianity is what this country was based on, go look up quotes of our founding fathers and see what they have to say on the matter.
Example: It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible – George Washington.
Noah webster (the founder of education in America says, ” Government is responsible to: Disipline our youth in early life in sound maxims of moral, political, and religious duties. Education is useless without the Bible.”

If anyting it is unconstitutional to have God taken out of our government and our schools. This is what our country was founded on. This is what America is. Not that you don’t have the right to practice your own religion, but you can’t tell us we can’t practice ours.
America is free and you have the freedom not to be here if you don’t like what our country stands for. If we change what America was founded on , it will not be America anymore.

Christians & “Hate” Bills

If “hate bill”-obsessed Congress [and Obama] can’t protect Christians from “gays” as much as it wants to protect “gays” from Christians, will Congress be surprised if it can’t protect itself from most everyone? If “hate bills” are forced on captive Americans, they’ll still find ways to sneakily continue to “plant” Biblical messages everywhere. By doing so they’ll hasten God’s judgment on their oppressors as revealed in Proverbs 19:1. (See related web items including “David Letterman’s Hate, Etc.,” “Separation of Raunch and State,” “Michael the Narc-Angel,” “Obama Avoids Bible Verses,” and “Tribulation Index becomes Rapture Index.”) Since Congress can’t seem to legislate “morality,” it’s making up for it by legislating “immorality”!

Prayer ~ time of silence ~ should be allowed for those who wish to do so. The ones who want no part of it, don’t have to participate. But, at the same time ALL beliefs/religions should be allowed….not just Judeau-Christian. There are many paths to God, not just one, and that’s what should be kept in mind. Just like with saying the pledge, if one does not believe in doing that they should not be forced to do so. They should be allowed to sit down, as the ones who choose not to take part in the prayer.

Yes, this is a Bible-thumping area ~ and all should keep in mind it is not a ‘translation’ of original transcripts from back then….it’s an ‘interpretation’ of an interpretation of an interpretation. And even the ones who do say they ‘go by the word’ don’t…. you can tell very easily by the way they act and what they say….also by what they eat!

EVERYONE should be allowed to believe what they believe without someone preaching to them that you should ‘convert’ to their way because it’s the only way~it’s not!

The key word here is FREEDOM!

This is a top priority? The courts have ruled many times that it is unconstitutional. It is a waste of time, effort and money to try it again. I was able to pray all I wanted to when I was in school, I’m sure kids still do. How about concentrating on some real priorities like jobs, economic growth, education, health care, environment concerns, etc?

Well spoken Preston.

HM you are so right so back off and let us have our freedom of speech in our choice prayer.

We are not asking you to convert . ” Wake up idiots!!! Remember that this is a free country…freedom of religion…freedom of speech.” and we choose freedom of prayer.

TO ALL PEOPLE OFFENDED BY OPEN EXPRESSION OF FAITH

It is impossible for anyone by their words or actions to offend, make people feel
left out, make people feel inferior, or hurt their feelings without that person first
allowing these feelings. If you allow these feelings because of an open ex-
pression of someone elses’ faith, the problem is with your immature manner
in which you handle the cituation.

Please don’t infringe on my RIGHTS because you cannot tolerate the diversity
that has made this country great
