ACLU Hates Prayer
If you don't know that the ACLU hates prayer, you've not been paying them much attention. The ACLU has adopted a very strange interpretation of the Constitution and the Amendments -- but with a very clear and obvious purpose that they will not state nor admit -- because they would be vilified if they did.
In yet another case, the ACLU is demanding that a government meeting cannot begin with a prayer. In this particular case, the ACLU says, "courts have ruled prayer improper if government bodies offer it to someone revered in a specific denomination."
Yet again this illustrates the real position of the ACLU. They have zero concept of right, wrong, or individual rights. Instead, they rely on the courts -- as they want everyone to do. The ACLU claims that since the courts have ruled something, that they are correct.
What this leaves out is the idea that the courts might actually be WRONG.
But the ACLU and the way it operates, cannot stand for that (unless, of course, the court disagrees with them). The ACLU is designed to use money, threats, and the court system to crush prayer in any way, shape, or form.
The ACLU wants to remove all prayer from individuals who happen to be in government buildings. The ACLU also supports removing ownership of private property. If their goals are reached, all prayer will be banned everywhere -- which is exactly what they want.
If you support the ACLU, you are working to destroy freedom of religion in the United States.

LOL I just don't understand you, and the thousands of other people just like you. Is your faith so weak that it depends on the acceptance of others? And even worse the approval of the government?
It's okay, whine and throw a fit - isn't that what blogs are for anyway? But I certainly won't be crying about others whos faith is different from mine.
Poor widdle needy christians *pet*

I'm not sure you really understood that post at all.

She is like all Americans in that she only reads what is interesting to her and ignores the rest.

Should a Muslim or a Jewish (insert any other religion of choice) representative in government be forced to hear prayers from the Bible, a Christian religious document. The ACLU is saying that prayer is inappropriate before government meetings because the prayer is specific to one denomination and does not support religious freedom as guaranteed by the Constiution. If christian members of government are unwilling to protect this essential right, then we must look to the courts for affirmation of freedom of religion.

I tried to figure out where Jen was coming from with that comment, but gave up after about four seconds. She's either got some issues requiring professional attention or she is tweaking on methadrine.
On Topic,
The ACLU's goal is communism. Communism and a belief in God don't mix. What gets me is that while they oppose prayer in schools, they don't have anything to say about forced Koran study in schools. I guess it's only unconstitutional if it's Christianity.

I'd say she was government-educated and couldn't read at all, but she did put together a sentence...
And Jonathan, no, that is NOT what the ACLU is saying. The ACLU is saying no individual can say a prayer in a government building. That is their stated purpose and mission. Just because you are an elected official, you do not lose your right to freedom of religion.
The only prohibition in the Constitution LIMITS the governement (and the court's) ability to STOP prayer.
And that's it, Seth. Communism cannot survive as long as there is any belief in God.

Ogre: "Just because you are an elected official, you do not lose your right to freedom of religion."
Nor do those who elected you.
I will defend to the death your right to pray to whomever you please in the church of your choice. Government offices, however, are not churches.
I realize that diversity is a difficult concept for some on the right to understand, but the United States is a diverse nation. We are not all Christians. Those of us who are do not have the right to force our beliefs on those who are not. I've read the Constitution, from beginning to end, many times and have been unable to find that right defined within it.

Then you are saying that if I am elected to any political office that I have no rights -- that your right to NOT hear a prayer said by me in a government building trumps my right under the first amendment. I strongly disagree, and I am a huge supporter of the Constitution (as it was written, not as it is "interpreted" today).
