What an insane rant

Drugs can rot your brain.

 

[JimH52]

In a Christian nation?

Read the Constitution.....

 

[JimH52]

As a white Christian male I support this plus other religions posting signs too.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

How is your fight going to take "In God we Trust" of our money? Oh yeah...

In a big win for our American heritage, the Supreme Court just rejected a federal lawsuit to have “In God We Trust” removed from our national currency. Whatever your beliefs, faith has been a cornerstone of this nation since the Pilgrims risked their dangerous journey across the sea to flee . . .

How does private prayer abuse Christians?

Only when Christians do it themselves in a taxpayer-funded building.

Nobody bans private prayer
It is only when Christians force it on everyone else

“Force” is a loose term. How does a valedictorian talking about her relationship with Jesus Christ at a Public School graduation force Christianity on the audience?

As much as I support the right of a Christian to speak of their spiritual relationship I support any and all others. For some people, that transcends to politics as that is where their focus is and they use a public school pulpit to voice their views.

I don’t mind a valedictorian speaking of their faith.
I do object to everyone at the graduation being forced to listen to an invocation from the local preacher

Fair enough. I appreciate limits but that needs to apply across the board. In the same vain, I object to political stances and views being used predominantly throughout a speech. There is nothing unifying about that regardless of which side of the aisle the speaker stands.
