“- – - the public that can not, or will not, try to understand ”

Interesting belief that the public is too ignorant or stupid to understand what’s going on in Tallahassee.

Oh I think he knows what he is doing,I think it is the public that can not, or will not, try to understand what the bill is.

DAVID. I don’t always agree with you but this time I do on your comment about Evers “not realizing what the bill means, just sounds good to him”. It’s a sad situation when law makers push and pass bills they do not understand or have to help due to a “pay back”. IE- septic tank inspection, not having to replace or pay for trees cut down on the side of the highway and on and on.

REGARDING:
“Got love southern politics. ”

Every area has matters which concern them above others. Besides you might note that bringing up a given subject does not mean instant agreement, nor does it assure votes.

In all likelihood he doesn’t realize what his bill means, just sounds good to him. After all, freedom is a good thing and to be sought even if you have to force it on others, just as we‘ve so successfully imposed democracy on Iraq and Afghanistan.

See Greg Evers pushed the evangelical button, and wala, it works every time!! When Southern politicians get caught feeding their high priority contributors they pull out of the hat a evangelical issue and they are a hero again. Got love southern politics. IF that doesn’t work GUNS will.

“So does any one have a problem with ‘one nation under God’ or do we need to get rid of that also? While we are at it do we need to do away with ‘In God we trust?”

I needs to go also. It wasn’t part of the pledge until 1954 during McCarthy’s red scare.

“I think more accurately, Baptists are a Protestant denomination of Christianity.”
-NotAgain for accuracy

Many Protestants like to think so but Baptists tend not to agree. Protestant churches are churches which left the Roman Catholic Church in protest over doctrinal issues (things like selling forgiveness, not granting divorces without a payoff, salvation by means other than faith, forbidding to marry, whatever minor differences they just couldn’t stomach) but in their heart of hearts they still believe in the Pope as the leader of all churches on Earth. Baptist believe that concept is a bunch of hogwash not in line with the teachings of Christ, that there is nothing the Pope could correct which would make true Baptists put their faith in the Pope as an intermediary between people and our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Read Mathew 6:6 (for Christians) and obey your Bible.

We all pay for this service (schools). Religion is a private matter and should be kept private. If you want to open the door to freedom of speech in schools, despite and ignoring the educational mission, then consider the consequences. You can’t make only Christian prayer permissible and exclude Satanists, Muslims, Atheist speech, etc. Christians, please show a little respect for others by keeping school only for secular education building skills, learning facts, etc. No Mother Goose, no ranting, no raving, no speaking in tongues, snake handling, voodoo doll pinning, etc.
