I got this in an email.
If anyone has proof it ain't so, show it. Our Leaders disgust me. I'd like to hear some of them who are running for election say they will abolish the BS and return us to our freedom of traditional Christian values. If I just offended anyone with my statement, great! ________________________________________________________________ At a Tennessee Football Game---not a joke Christianity is now the target of persecution... THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON. I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. TennesseeFootball This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee, by school principal, Jody McLeod "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and, if someone is offended, that's OK. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable" means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess, "Mother Earth", and call it "ecology.." I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.." However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time. " However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this event, please feel free to do so.. As far as I know, that's not against the law--yet." One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box! The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD." Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee , remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.." If you are not ashamed, pass this on .. I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, are you? THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON. |

Your God belongs in your church, not in public schools! look, i'm an athiest, and what you just said is ignorant and stupid.. how is someone praying to "their god" doing anything to you? what is wrong with people with like minds that want to ask god to help them win, or to keep people from getting hurt bothering you any? people like you are just slowly stripping people away from their freedoms. if you don't want to pray, then don't. i do not, but i'm not going to stand in anyone elses way to do what makes them feel good. We are a country that was founded on religious principles, and even i admit that most of them show a good moral way of life. I don't think they should teach religion to anyone, but they should never stop religion completely... |

Your God belongs in your church, not in public schools! Fair enough statement. How do you feel about Muslim kids being allowed to do their prayers during school time? Knowing Christians aren't allowed to pray, Catholics aren't allowed to wear their religious stuff at school. |

one of the most difficult 'constitutional' standards to apply
'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof' many only see the part about not establishing religion, and many others only see the part about not prohibiting it its a hard line to tow, neither MANDATING GOD nor FORBIDDING HIM its hard for many to understand the space between the two |

Yet America was born a Christian nation with foundations connected to GOD, Christ, Holy Spirit, and bible based beliefs. But may assume, a belief in God as a world view in general? It seems as time has passed in our existance, many do not even believe in God, (and respect MightyMoe's thinking very much) but doesn't it come down to now having to consider, separating religion and state, to the point of allowing for no belief in God at all? A man (or woman) builds a house, automobiles, technology, breakthroughs in medicine, rockets and such. Complicated things. Yet somehow,the most amazing creations were somehow accidental? America has been such an anomaly and had so much good fortune since inception, Could it have been our Faith all along... |
