First it was the schools, then it was religious symbols in public places, and then what, displaying religious symbols in our homes? Go ahead, say it will never happen. Frankly, I don't think most kids care one way or the other about prayers spoken aloud in school, or any other school related function. I remember having a graduation prayer voiced at my high school during commencement. I don't remember any opposition to it, and I highly doubt it made much of a difference to the graduates then or later in life. Its the adults that make a big fuss over it, get all worked up about it, and feel the need to do something. Give me a break. We have to change the system because some kid (lets say one in a thousand) cops a mental attitude over it?? Hell, I don't even have kids, but yet I have to pay school taxes by way of property taxes. You know, I feel unfairly discriminated against!! I'll concede prayer in school if I don't have to pay school taxes anymore. AND it doesn't surprise me that you don't see Christianity slowly eroding from its once powerful foundations simply because you do not practice the belief(or any belief as I understand it) by your own admission. ----------------------------------- I was rather hoping you were going to point out to me what US laws were contrary to the New Testament which after all is what Christianity is based on.
