One crazy atheist got rid of prayer in public schools. My teachers read the Bible to us each morning and we prayed. We pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. We sang God Bless America. We didn’t need “resource officers” (cops) in our schools. We didn’t have metal detectors. Not one girl in my high school ended up pregnant. Now we have day care centers in high schools for students’ babies. My church started by holding services in my elementary school on Sundays. We had fish on Fridays at school for the Catholic kids and no one complained.
It is people like you who have helped destroy America with your “fairness” crap. America was built by Christians on Christian values! You can’t change the facts.
But Obama was right, wasn’t he. America is no longer a Christian nation. And it shows!
“Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”- George Washington
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”- John Adams
Contrasted to:
“To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics.”- Vladimir Lenin
Not a hard choice to make.....
I grew up exactly the way you did and it was wonderful. Shoot I grew up
In Catholic schools in the 50’s. But America was a more homogeneous country then. And it was not a good thing in every single way.
Do you want to go back to segregation, to women not getting higher education,
To Latinos being nothing more than gardeners and gays being shoved into the dark corners of society? Of course you don’t.
We have to look back and accept that the end of white, Christian, male privilege is over.
There is a positive side. In my community and at my job, there are all kinds of people, black, white, gay straight, religious and nonreligious living and working side by side. My boss is Latina, her boss is gay, the blbacks I work with are prospering. and I am so glad I lived to experience this.
All is not lost. I think more than anything the media gives the impression that there is constant chaos going on in America. But when I walk out my front door and go into real life with all its new diversity everthing is great. Sometimes I think I am lucky and living in a bubble.
But it just might be that if there was no media brining us news of every wacko
Lawsuit, grievance group and malcontent we could get the big picture that there are changes that are good and the media are the ones living in a bubble.
