If anybody has acces to the NY Times magazine available with the sunday NY Times should read the article about separation of church and state in there, it's a very interesting proposal.

Holden it's just a matter of coercion. I wouldn't have minded if a Christian prayer was said at the beginning of our high school soccer games, just so long as I didn't have to say it. I don't say the pledge of allegiance but I'll stand out of repect for the flag. However, I do share your feelings on the marginalization of the secular legalists and that would be something that would have to be addressed.

This is somewhat oblique, but I never understood the concept of group prayer. Prayer is a time to communicate to God as an individual. Whoever came up with the idea of... let's all send send him the same message at the same time... idiot. And then the people who get worked up about this issue of public prayer in school, bigger idiots.
They're like insecure people banding together to reaffirm their solidarity. |
