Those examples have been a PART of our government for lo these many years, and the citizens who object to them (though they have a right to their opinions) are a part of the 'more than creeping' invasion against the ideas upon which this nation was founded, and the freedom and right of others to believe in them.

Too bad everyone doesn't do the same. I am just curious...what do you base your thinking on? I mean, is it just your opinion or do you have a particular philosophy that guides you? I have taken a couple of philosophy classes and I have found it fascinating! I would disagree with you, though. Personally, I think it is good for a nation to have public acknowledgment of God.

Over the centuries the persecutors have been allowed into our great country with open arms of its freedoms. Now we are almost back to where we started from in the old countries that we left to have this freedom. I prayed for people like you as I pray every day for our God, the Lord , to take back this land in His name. Whether you like it or not...you are in my prayers!

There is a reason this country was based on the christian faith and now that so many of our leaders have taken God out of our government and themselves this country's economy is at a low and drugs and violence is at a high. I thank God that there are still some christian officials and hope that others can accept him as their Savior as well. Nationalizing prayer is the only way this country can survive.

The problem is that the uneducated do not fight this trend out of their respect for religious belief. Religion will divide our country not unite it. We don not need a theocracy. Separation of church and state works well for both democracy AND religion. Pray all you want, but nationalization of religious practice is wrong.
