That still doesn't mean I don't dis-agree with the seperation of church and state, although I see
nothing wrong with voluntary, student led, prayer. As for Cuban kids being allowed to pray, I find
that odd because Cuba, like China, is a Communist country, and if I'm not mistaken, the Communist
outlaw religion because it takes away FROM the state in some manner or another. I'm not sure on the
specifics as I have never truly studied communism past what they teach in World History when talking
about Russia, Cuba, and China (yes, I know, Russia is now supposedly a democratic nation, but I'll
believe that when the curropt politicians are ousted from office). Just look at China's treatment of
the Tibetan monks and the Buddhists (and anyone that speaks out against their Communistic
principal's). Being Jewish is not just ethnicity, me thinks. It is also a frame of mind and
religion. And if we go by the Noah Geneology link you posted a while back, I'm sure we could all
trace our roots back to Noah, that is unless you believe in evolution, but that would pretty much
kill Noah (or not, as PAGAN religions much older then Christianity have their own versions of the
creation story, and all include a great flood, so while your good book might not all be fiction, it
was wrote 2000+years ago by men (inspired by God, if you wish) who were superstitious(sp) and has
been poorly translated a thousand-plus times. It's accuracy leaves something to be desired.).
As for American children being denied the right, you obviously haven't visited my high school, where
student led prayer is the norm (every morning there is school, they gather around the flag pool and
pray, then head inside and talk for a while before classes begin, not only is it voluntarily run by
students, they also have a teacher sponsor (every student organization needs one) and are supported
(and never made fun of) by almost every other student, whether or not they join in the prayer. I
joined them several times while I attended high school. It was marvelous to be in the presence of
REAL Christians. They didn't care what I believed, but accepted me and let me join in with their
discussions afterwards (I even said a few prayers of my own at the flagpole). It was a very
refreshing thing, especially after having to deal with bigots and racists like you.
Mr. Knight, I'd like you to join ME in a prayer (the Lords Prayer to be exact):
Our Father, who art in heaven
hallowed by thy name
Thy kingdom come, they will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven,
**Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us**
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
Now and forever,
Amen.
I forgive you Mr. Knight because I think deep down inside you are indeed a nice person.
P.S. I also see nothing wrong with The Pledge of Allegiance as it has been recited since the '60's.
I pledge allegiance, to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One Nation, Under God,
**With Liberty and Justice for All**
As for whose God our nation is under...*shrugs*...whichever one you believe in.
