That's just an extreme example that will never happen and you know it.

All I'm sayin is that this country WAS founded on religious principals with god's name in mind..

Yes, but not Christianity. Most of the founding fathers were deists, not Christians.

And it is still prominent in several areas of government.. For how long? Who knows, but it aint causin harm to anyone who claims to have any sanity.

It affects the legality of euthanasia, abortion, morning after pill, birth control, homosexual marriage/civil unions, etc.

I guess I'm just an insane atheist who eats abortions, worships Dr. Kevorkian, and wipes my ass with the bible...:rolleyes:

How so? You can do whatever you want as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. Granted there are seperate school rules which must be followed, but they certainly can't force you not to pray if you aren't being disruptive.

Apparently not cause I sure got a LOT fo flak for it.

Man they're pullin our rights away one little bit at a time.. I don't think it'll ever stop.

Either way.. It is obvious that there was some intent of religion playing a small roll in government.. Can anyone tell me what Seperation of Church and State REALLY means?

Eh.. No hard feleings either way.. We have a right to believe in whatever the hell we want.. Or nothing at all. I just wish Atheists would stop making so many damned anti-christian movements. If they targeted religion in general I'd have no beef.

WHAT! You complain that people aren't allowed to pray in school and you complain about people getting abortions, taking the pill and have gay marriage.

Spoiler:

Perhaps you didn't notice Christianity is dominant in the western world and is therefor causing the most grief to "these people", public schools don't have rituals involving Satan, and our governments are not making decisions based on Islamic scripture.

Agreed 100%. If you dont support it, you dont have to participate.

If a Muslim student has to pray to Mecca 4x a day Im not going to be offended if he whips out his prayer rug and does his thing. Im not going to be offended if I walk in the restroom and see a kid washing his feet in the sink because his religion tells him he has to.

I'm a Christian, I don't see why anyone would be offended by somebody praying, HELL, I go to school, if you ask me I'm more offended by the people who insult others on a daily basis, rather than the ones who have a different Religious preference than you.

I don't really care, though; I don't like people who pray out really loud like an attention whore anyways, and trust me; I know plenty of people like that, if you want to pray, do it silently, you don't even have to close your eyes, as far as I'm concerned.

I fold my hands, bow my head and close my eyes.. And if anyone has a problem with it.. Bite me. The biggest problem in schools these days is that everyone is way too opinionated and judgemental.
