You can still pray in schools. You can say a prayer before a test, you can have a student prayer group (or Christian group) which meets after school... you HAVE the freedom to exercise your religion in public schools. You can talk about your God in the hallways, as long as it is done peacefully. I don't see what the problem is.

We live in a nation where the majority of people are Christians. Christians are the most outspoken in this country, when it comes to religious people. Therefore, it always seems like Christians are the ones trying to push their agendas (or the ones opposing agendas that they don't agree with). It's the Christians who rally together opposing same-sex marriage. At least, that is what I tend to see. This goes the same for other hot button issues. Denying the existence of something means that you have to believe it exists in the first place? Please. Let's say that you don't believe aliens exist. Does that mean that you admit they exist because you are denying that they exist? That makes absolutely no sense at all. I join these forums for discussion. I learn a lot from the intelligent Christians who post in these types of forums. Since, like I said earlier, Christianity is the most common faith in the country that I live, I find it important to understand as much as I can about it. I am a member of a few different atheist forums. We talk about issues that affect our lives, philosophy, morality... actually, we talk about the same things that you talk about for the most part.

This was during a time in my life when I was questioning my Christian beliefs. I started evaluating them, and a few months after I came to a split in the road... I wanted to believe in God but came to the conclusion that the evidence for him (or any other gods) was lacking. So, I thought I would try to go straight to the source (God himself) and I got nothing.

Now take this and tell it to Him. I don't know about 'thesorgo', but I HAVE taken that statement (not exact but a similar one) to him and still got nothing. What is next?
