To challenged you don't have to worry about HELL you don't believe anyway. Your tax dollar only pays for one hit of the hammer if that much. When you are dieing tell me GOD is not going to come to mind.
In God We Trust, its what this great nation was founded on. When i went to school we said the pledge of allegiance along with a prayer every day. Back in those days there wasnt school shootings and school violence. There wasnt drugs in our schools. Because of these athiest our society has started a downward trent. If you dont like the phrase in god we trust, or religion in govt or schools. MOVE OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!! I definately feel more confident in my leaders who pray or pray before session rather than act like a athiest as Mythologically Challenged is. If you dont like it, just like people who cant speak english, please leave my great country!
...and I don't want my tax dollars used to pay people to pray. Pray in your churches and in your homes and in anyplace else you choose to pray in for that matter as long as my tax dollars aren't used to support it. Freedom OF Religion is also Freedom FROM Religion. When will people grasp the concept that there are some of us who choose to refrain from participation in organized religion and don't wish to support religious activity of any kind with our tax dollars? That is MY Constitutional Right. Yep, I have some, too, despite all the efforts to slowly erode them and to turn America into a Christian theocracy. And please don't respond by saying that I'm going straight to Hell.
If we had more of Gods people praying in the government this world system would not be in the chaos that it currently is.Our country was founded on "In God we trust, if Wisconsin bans our faithful leaders from prayer then we might as well call our blessed state California.
The freedom that gives you the right to protest is the same freedom I have to pray as do the people in government if they choose. Just because you do not beleive in prayer doesn't mean your freedoms are more important than other peoples freedoms.
I wonder how much longer God is going to allow us to mock Him by removing His name from our Christian nation. Lord God forgive them for they don't know what they are doing.
Tell them to find something better to do with their time!!! I don't believe any of the representatives are complaining, and I know that nobody is forcing any of them to participate. They are praying because of their own free will, and that is their consitutional right!!!
Wow, what is the world coming too? We have to respect people with no religion, yet it doesn't seem to work the other way around.
