| Well, usually in these discussions you have two sides. One side wants Christianity to be the official state religion, have Christian Theology taught in schools, and mandatory Prayer in schools.
The other side, wants anyone to be banned from expressing their faith. To have Christian ideals, and teachings banned everywhere. They go as far as to tell us where we can and cant put holiday decorations at.
I seek to see things in the middle. Yet you all do not seem to realize the assinine points of all your arguments.
This nation can not have sponsored prayer in schools. Yet, there is nothing un-constitutional about religious imagery on Government Buildings.
When you see a christmas Tree at a Court House, They arent telling you to worship Jesus. Theyre not forcing anyone to follow that faith. It must be sooo Damned offensive to see a christmas tree on govt property. Better yet, ill lay it out for everyone.
If your a person who beleives in state sponsored prayer in schools. Then you want everyone to beleive as you do. If you want all religious imagery banned from Govt buildings, your a person who gets upset over nothing.
Seriously out of all the topics to argue about, this isnt one to even bother with. Sponsored and Mandatory Prayer is illegal in Public Schools. Thats never gonna change. The Seperation of Church and State prohibits that.
Having a Christian Prayer on behalf of a president or congressman is hardly anything to get offended by. Matter of fact, im pissed off at IRAN for not having Christian and Jewish Prayers in their own Government Meetings.
Get over it, Pick more important battles. Focus on more important issues. |
