[Faith-talk] new school prayer

Mon Nov 10 16:05:18 UTC 2008

The first amendment talks about freedom of religion.  The liberals would 
like us to believe that it means freedom from religion.
The reasons why we have no control in school is because we removed God and 
corporal punishment from them.
It was the flaw in the human that makes oppression occur in civilizations. 
But when this country was made up of many who believed in a higher being 
that we prospered and became the greatest nation on earth.  As we pull 
farther away from God, the more we will falter.
The Muslim world hates America not because of who we are, but what lack of 
morals America has come to stand for.  I heard a professional ballplayer 
once say that he just wanted to be who he was and not be a role model.  The 
truth of the matter is, when you are in a place where people could look up 
to you you have no choice.  You are likely to be one.  We Christians have 
failed miserably because we have forgotten that we live in this world not 
for this world.  Our permanent residence is not here but in Heaven.  We are 
just passing through and should be trying to take as many with us as we can.
