To all Theists I would like to know?

should not be mandatory but should be allowed. i don't feel that it should stop anything from progressing in school.

School is not the place for prayer. Especially not mandatory prayer or a "moment of silence", which I feel is just a passive aggressive way to get prayer into schools. Although I understand that nothing is going to keep individuals from maybe uttering a silent prayer now and then (like before a test or whatever), but it should stay that way.

I personally believe if a Christian is that concerned about it they should home school or send their children to a private religious school. I also think that Churches themselves should be set up to facility it's members - and others in the community to home schools or even set the church up as an educational co-operative. Parents would volunteer to as staff, donate educational materials etc. etc. That is of course if the Churches were really interested in more than taking the money and building shrines to themselves.

well let me first just say it is of the most importance that even if you are not a christian you need to not give up the rights of our great Constitution we have rights and we need to use em. And prayer is one of the most importan thangs its the time we spend with god thank him for our food. help in time of need. prayer for a sick class mate. exc....

I am a Christian, but feel that a moment of silence is the more attractive option. It doesn't force people into our religion, so that they won't fight it later if they are up against it later.

We have prayer in my school.

The truth will always be hated and Jesus is the truth. Satan uses other religions to counter the truth.

Jesus said they hated me and they will hate you.

I don't know why you guys can't go seven hours without talking to your imaginary buddy.
