i think at this juncture in our history, prayer and religion in the state schools would be opening a pandora's box

would you mind providing justification for this statement?

i see things differently. our public schools have taken a turn for the worst shortly after prayer was outlawed in public schools. and they continue to get worse year after year. drugs, violence, nea agendas, ritalin,..., are all sidetracking kids from learning. we threw god out ... it is time to invite him back in.

This is very true.

What I don't understand about black people: so many are Democrats (and Democrats to me = immoral, liars, cheaters, low-lifes). Yet, you look, historically, to the black community. They are the ones, really, where so much (or all) of our religious music comes from: blues, gospel, soul, etc. And many are Baptists.

If you then compare to white people, and, in particular, those who are Baptists, I would say, percentage-wise, more whites are Republicans. Why is this?

I would think that black Democrats who are spiritual/religious, would be equally wanting to espouse the Republican view (I think the higher moral and ethical party).

And I'm not going to believe that it's just because they believe in all the social programs for which the Democrats are famous for pushing. (I'm a single parent and have appreciated help when my kids were were very young, from time to time. It's hard to go it alone sometimes; but I still have too much pride in myself to depend on handouts as a way of life.)
