Where I have a problem is in the Government giving my tax dollars to individuals, couples or groups doing things that I find morally wrong. I don't care if you're talking about stem-cells, same sex marriage or abortion! > As for prayer in schools, schools are a government > institution, it would be a violation of the establishment > clause if they were school sponsored. So long as there are tests, there will continue to be prayer in school... okay, it's an old joke but it fits here. Also, my gripe with schools goes WAY beyond prayer. Telling a choir or band that they cannot perform a piece of music because it has religious reference is something that sticks in my craw pretty hard. So is telling a group of students that they cannot gather on school property before classes start but after the school opens to hold any kind of religious gathering. > You are, you're not required not to worship at your church, just that > you do not require the rest of us to worship your deity. Your rights > end when they interfere with the rights of others. Yet we as Christians are supposed to blindly accept it when someone belittles our belief system? We're supposed to turn a blind eye to schools teaching our children, by example and reference, that things such as premarital sex and gender bending are things that they are supposed to do? It's not our right to tell someone to watch their language around our children? Our hard earned tax dollars are supposed to be funneled into abortion clinics? I will say this - we are a lot LESS of a "Christian" nation than we were some 60 years ago. Blue laws have been repealed. The FCC allows a lot more on the air. Cable, satellite and Internet have made the world an extremely small place and let groups get their message out louder than before (with enough money). Remember that at one time there was a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that banned the sale or consumption of alcohol. I'm not trying to foist my views on you any more, stop trying to foist yours on me.
