That’s the Anti-Christian Litigants’ Union. Oddly, it seems not to trouble the ACLU that Muslims kill people for homosexuality, while Christian opposition (non-lethal) to homosexuality is cause for great angst.
There is no separation of religion and political rule under Islam. It is a system of theocratic rule that discriminates against non-muslims under law.
Don't be. In our corner we have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We have the armies of heaven, God's angels dispatched to serve and protect us invisibly. We have God's Word. We have God's people, just waiting to work with us for His glory.
In their corner, they only have that old liar, Satan, a being that tends to overreach himself time after time, then breaks his tools in a fit of spite when he fails.
What happens in my house is more important than what happens in the White House.
I can do something in my house to change the course of history. I can raise my own children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" to be people of purpose and destiny, people who do not participate in the cult of Caesar (Public "education"), and who do not take Caesar as seriously as he takes himself. Our future is as bright as the promises of God! See my tagline.
We need to stop bending over & allowing muslims to push their beliefs on us. If muslims can’t adapt to being American they should leave asap. We don’t need them here. It is not the will of Allah that they live here, they should live where their beliefs & way of life is normal, like their own hell hole countries. IMO muslims are a threat to our safety & a threat to our children’s safety. Our children are our future & we should protect them. As for teaching my child about muslims, I have started at the crusades & will not spare her the beheading & other horrible things muslims do & have done. I see no need to expose her to honor Allah, it is not my religion & how dare anybody expect that I should do so. If anything I will remind her weekly about 911 & the other terror attacks around the world.
Me too!

20 years ago, when I was in public high school, I was being taught how good Islam was and about the two large Islamic groups - Sunni and Shia (but, not about them murdering each other). We were taught how about the horrible Crusades and all the great accomplishments of Islam (Algebra, etc.).
Now, I don't believe the Algebra came from the Islamists. They are more like the aliens in Independence day that take over technologies and cultures.
Islam and the Psychology of the Musulman by Andre Servier, was published in French in 1922 and translated to English 1923. Click the link to read it for yourself. Here's a typical observation:
I'm not sure how anyone thinks that could be true in the context of the First Amendment, but that's why we have a Second Amendment. My children will not be indoctrinated on beliefs that contradict God's Law.

The mistake was having government schools. Only in a **private** setting can children get a thoroughly religiously based education that is fully integrated into every minute of their day. Children need an education that teaches their family's **specific** religious traditions.
At their very best government schools in the mid-1800s, offered a watered down, and lukewarm Protestantism. ( Well...We know what Christ does with the lukewarm!)
Opening government schools ( and making them compulsory) destroyed the private market for the homeschooling, Sunday schooling, private church run schools, and home=based tutoring academies that had educated our young since its founding.
This idiocy is CAUSED by the unconstitutional heresy of separation of church and state.
Even if we as a society could go back to some magical era in government schooling, the anemic Christianity offered up in the very best of the government schools, was NOT NOT NOT enough to raise up citizens who could stare down atheistic Marxism and now fascist Islam.
We must close down the government schools. We must get our nation's children into conservative private schools that will integrate the child's specific Judeo Christian religious traditions into every minute of every school day.
I only learned about Islam after I joined the Navy (1988), and I grew up in the Houston, TX metro area.
I was a nominal Christian growing up, but in the last decade I’ve become more aware of what the true societal norms SHOULD be (God’s norms), and how I was seduced by the world growing up.
Exactly.
Or maybe wearing a yamaka and eating kosher in the cafeteria that day.
Opening the day with Bible reading and prayer is not offering a lukewarm Protestantism. Schools were for education not religious indoctrination and parents were expected to teach their children their own religious faith at home.
Opening the day with Bible reading and prayer only reflected societal values in that time.
Besides, the Protestant Bible contains books recognized as Scripture by all the major religions in the US at that time.
One room school houses were supported and run by the local communities and reflected their values. In spite of your tinfoil hat conspiracy theory paranoia, there is no indication that there was some sort of conspiracy to Protestantize the the whole country.
The problems started after the efforts to eliminate God from the public schools. When Christianity gets kicked out and is replaced with atheism, is when something moves in to fill the vacuum, just as is happening in Europe and is starting to happen here.
And for that you can thank the ACLU and it's cohorts.
Would be nice.
I read that years ago and it was a real eye opener. Dave Barton at wallbuilders.com is a tireless advocate for founding principles.
I would say that the problems started when the first government school opened in the mid-1800s. Instead of receiving an education that was thoroughly grounded in that child's specific religion, the government school children were fed a generic ( lukewarm) Protestantism that could be accepted by the majority of the voters.
Right there at the beginning, generic and lukewarm is a problem. ( We know what Christ does to the lukewarm.)
When government opened compulsory tuition-free government schools it created a very hostile business climate for the forms of education that had taught generations of citizens up to the mid-1800s: homeschools, private tutoring academies in the homes of teachers, Sunday schools, and private schools.
Then add to the toxic mix the fact that Utopian Progressives ( who were highly influenced by the Marxist philosophies of Europe) have always been in charge of teacher training and curriculum development. That government schools would move to more and more secularism was inevitable.
My grandmother ( born in 1894) was subjected to a government schooling that was essentially godless. Yes, there were a few minutes of prayer in the morning. Yes, her teachers were able to soften the effects of the godless secularism,..but..her government education even by the late 1800s and early 1900s was **secular**.
What our nation needs are private conservative schools that will totally integrate the child's Judeo Christian religious beliefs throughout the entire curriculum. Lukewarm and generic will not be enough to defeat Marxism or Islamofascism.
