[Faith-talk] Daily Thought for Tuesday, May 20, 2014

[debby phillips via Faith-talk]

Hi ghrandon, I have done some studying about the Founding 
Fathers.  Most of them were Christian, although not all 
Protestant.  However, having said that, I do believe the Founders 
would agree that people should have freedom of religion.  I do 
not think it is fair though that we must remove all Christian 
symbols from our schools, parks, etc.  If I lived in an Islamic 
nation I would not be shouting that they shouldn't pray publicly 
because it offends me.  I believe that people need to stop 
telling Christians that we can't pray, can't have crosses, or 
whatever.  Whether other people want to admit this or not, within 
the tapestry of our culture, it is very Christian.  Should we 
allow other religious groups to have public displays, etc.? Yes! 
I love the sound of church bells, so if there was a minaret, that 
wouldn't bother me either.  Or a shofar, which is the horn that 
is used in Israel to call Jews to Shabbat worship.    Blessings,    
Debby
