Seperation of Church and State
I started this evening reading about gun laws new and old. And as my ADD kicked in I got side tracked to this topic. To me it seems pretty simple, First amendment clearly states " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" it says nothing except congress can't make a law in regards to relegious practice. It also cannot prohibit your right to practice whatever religion you want. It does not say you cannot have religion in schools, government centers-buildings, public places, or anywhere else. So I would challenge anyone to prove to me where it says we cannot have prayer in schools. You do not have to pray. If you do not agree with it being done , oh here's a novel idea, ELECT NEW SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. Remember the election process. The right of the people to be governed by the people? Quit using our court system to push your agenda. The only reason that this is done is because on merit your stance will not survive a popular election. You know why? because it's not something the majority of the public wants. I am very happy to listen to anyone who can show me something in law not a court decision, that separates church and state. I believe that this country was founded on christian principles, and that we should keep those as they have proven to make us GREAT. If you do not wish to believe as I do AWESOME that is your GOD given right. Yep no where in the Bible does it say you HAVE to believe in GOD. Only if you want to go to heaven do you have to believe. If not I'm OK with it. I don't hate you or think your less of a human. I only think it's absurd that as you try to enforce your right to not believe you infringe on MY RIGHT TO BELIEVE.
