Your right not to listen to something is a slipery kind of right. If someone invades your home to talk to you about things that you don't want to hear or they follow you around preaching at you then you have a good case that your rights have been violated. But that doesn't mean you have a right to tell everyone with different ideas to shut up when they are in public. to you, i know it is. i've known that from your first post. i've tried to tell you we disagree, but you keep preaching to me more and more... does that make you happy ? i have no idea, but i see no point in you continue telling me the same. over, and over, and over... I think you misunderstand me. I am not argueing for schools to try to convert students or orginize prayers for them. I am not trying to convert you. I have never tried to convert anyone. I don't go around preaching or preying outloud in public. I'm not even a very religious person. I'm arguing for freedom of religion and speech. (and that this freedom should not be limited to homes or churches) LOL ! no i do not misunderstand you, and yes you are arguing, regardless of how many times i tell you we disagree and that's that... you keep coming back for more. i am not telling you should NOT ARGUE. i am telling you go do it with somebody else. arguing, (as you are doing), here in SI will NOT change the law. if, (as you say), you are arguing to change the law, then talk to your Congressman/woman and have it changed. the way the law stands today is: you cannot pray in public school. once again, you want to change that, then make a case, and take it to the Supremes. you have as much of a chance of changing the above law as i have a chance to make the churches responsible for their atrocities. the difference is, i understand it and move on. you seem not to understand it and keep telling me so. why ? i have no idea, and i am not interested in listening end.
