" Why then are people so upset when Christian teachers are forbidden from doing similar things?"

Because a Muslim or a Hindu never created a free nation. This country and the US Constitution was created by Protestant Christians.

The very fact that you suggest a parity between Muslim, Hindu and Christianity is proof positive that you have been brainwashed by public schools and popular media.

By your fatalistic and defeatist logic you personally are incapable of believing in the superiority of one religion over another for your own family, or for you personally.

Your logic susgests you should be equally "worshipping" some conglomeration of all faiths in your iown personal everyday life.

If you do not then the comment you posted is purely anti-Christian and hypocritical.

I have the right to practice the religion that is true and good, Christianity.

I have the right to associate ONLY with Christians if I so choose. I have a right for my children not to be attacked for their Christian beliefs.

I have a right to believe that Christianity has done more to advance the general welfare of mankind than any religion in the history of mankind (and that is a readily provable fact).

The principles of this nation are Christian. Anybody who tells you otherwise are bald-faced liars attempting to destroy Christianity in order to advance there own personal unChristian philosophy.

Here are a few quotes that will never be published in the anti-Christian public school textbooks.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." -- Patrick Henry, American Revolutionary Leader, ("Give me Liberty or give me death!")

“Christianity is the companion of liberty in all its conflicts, the cradle of its infancy, the divine source of its claims.” -- Alexis de Tocqueville

"I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion, and if I was siting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly give my verdict in its favour. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man." -- Alexander Hamilton, "Ratifier of the Constitution"

"We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come." -- Samuel Adams, statement as the Declaration of Independence was being signed August 2, 1776.

In 1774, before the revolution began in earnest, "the colonists grew in resilience and confidence in God, to the point where one Crown-appointed Governor wrote of the condition to the Board of Trade back in England:"

"If you ask an American, whos is his master? He will tell you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ"

The Committee of Correspondence soon began sounding the cry across the Colonies; "No King but King Jesus!"

Well said. Leftists act as though all religions are morally equivalent. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I am a Protestant Christian. My extended family are Spanish Catholics who are completely tolerant to me now but generations ago would have been trying to torture or kill me for my beliefs. And they would have done it with the same vehemence that you show in your posts, "We are right and God is on our side!" My postmodern leanings are a extension, probably too far but better safe than sorry, of my desire to distance myself from my ancestors' actions.
