In 1962, the USSC banned prayer in public schools. This country has been slouching towards Gomorrah ever since.

So you would bring back compulsory, i.e., state-mandated, prayer as the cure-all for the nation’s decline? Ridiculous!

Gee! That is EXACTLY what I got from Signalman's post/s. He MUST have meant that he supports state-mandated prayer/s. He could NOT have been commenting on how our nation has turned away from God, and how God has turned away from our nation. It's only about state-mandated prayer.

Some people will never understand what we've done to this nation.

Yes, when he complained about removal of compulsory prayer, I made the crazy assumption he wants it back. I do not want any government official telling me when, where, and how to pray. The USSC got it right in1962, and conservative efforts to reverse it are wrong- headed, even if good-hearted.
