Give up the public schools to their sin.

Think of it as the reciprocity test. If your kid had a Muslim teacher, would you wanting the teacher leading prayers to Allah before each class? If your kid had a Hindu teacher, would you want Hindu god-statues scattered across the classroom? Why then are people so upset when Christian teachers are forbidden from doing similar things?

" 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!"

Because it is targeting Christianity and not these other religions. In case you haven't heard there are classroom in this country (California for one) where readings from the Koran is required as well as picking a Muslim name as part of "sensitivity training" They are also targeting national documents that mention //gasp// "God". In addition they are clearly promoting values that are anathema to Christians. I am sure you are well aware of much of this.

The pretense to religious neutrality is a myth. I wonder if you are as neutral as you seem to claim? Do Christians make you "uncomfortable"? Are you one of those people eating at a Wendy's and see a person quietly reading the Bible and get a twinge of annoyance? Many do and never look at their reasons, it annoys them and that is good enough. They don't wish to look at their reasons so they fail to understand the danger to their own freedoms when the Declaration of Independence is banned because it uses the word "God". The movement and efforts of such groups like the ACLU does not offend them because, well just'cuse. Those folks are so annoying anyway and what the heck it isn't my religion that is under attack. But it is and they will get around to you eventually. How soon will it be before you are REQUIRED to drop the incense in honor of Caesar? The shameful thing is for many that will be just fine.

My complaint is that I hear too many stories of the public school being forbidden from acknowledging the place of God in our Western culture and laws. And the apparent banishment of the discussion of right and wrong and absolute standards.

The only message left is 'do your thing'. It has only been in the last few years that I've come to realize this philosophy directly leads to 'right makes right'.

P.S. The acceptance of homosexuality and callous disregard for the health risks of any kind of promiscuity are aother good reasons to be wary of public schools
