Please understand though, we are treading on thin ice. I am a Catholic, and as such I if choose to, I may send my sons to catholic school. I am certainly not demeaning you because of your convictions, because I tend to believe we share them. However if you allow christian prayer out loud in public schools, then you must allow ALL religious prayers out loud in school, that means any religion any person practices is fair game. I know I would not be comfortable with my sons listening to a hindu or pagan blessing or prayer. as I assume those parents would feel uncomfortable with my son reciting the rosary out loud. The problem is some of the folks on here on my side of this issue seem to be "religion-bashing" and thats their perogative but I have to agree with the conclusion they make. If you want to child to pray out loud in a group then, it is much better to send them to a religious school.

Not according to Supreme court case after case after case in the 1800's, who considered other religions to be 'infidels' etc.

Sadly, Hell is in creation for a reason. There is a need for such a place as so many would fight tooth and nail just for the opportunity to spit in God's eye. I wish it were not so. Just remember Saul; even the worst among us is not a lost cause. I pray that the lost sheep find the flock again before the gate is closed. Keep the faith, my friends. And keep praying to God where-ever you are, what-ever you are doing, and who-ever might be observing.
