Our government is open to and even encourages everything that goes against Jesus and his teachings. While we are taught to avoid conflict our silence also comes with a cost.

It discusses the issues that have been raised here as well as a few others. The Constitution actually says: Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. In the interest of saving space as well as time to repeat my post, here is the link to the article I wrote: http://conservechristian.blogspot.com/2006...s-neo-pref.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be up to the parents to indoctrinate their children in the religion of their choosing. The public schools are for secular subjects; churches, synagoges, mosques and the home are for the teaching of religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the teaching of religion should be done by parents and not schools. ANY religion, not just Christianity. But and this is a huge but.........it is not up to the government to tell our children that they aren't allowed to pray or to speak God's name, or to gather before or after school. That is making a law repecting religion and prohibiting the free expression of religion. This is in complete contratiction with the Constitution.

Neither indorses one religion over another. The problem here is man-made and it really has nothing to do with God it's about adults using children to skirt around the law of the land. It's really pretty simple, obey Jesus and the law and there'll be no problem: Jesus said: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Bottom line; don't advertise; pray and God will hear you. Kids can pray in school now; it's never been illegal. There's no telling how many appeals God gets from children in classrooms every day right before taking a test. You can't kick God out of school or anywhere else........if He's really omnipotent.

It is done for pride and for show. The latter is a comandment from Jesus. We are to go out and to spead the Goodnews and to talk about God.
