@ Cheeky Gato and The Apple Eater: Bumping long dead threads is an internet no-no. It tends to make the creatrs of such posts mad, especially when it goes against the things he/she tried to get out in the first post.

@ Suicidal Muskrat: Yeah, exactly. The separation of church and state was meant in such a way that religions wouldn't hold any sway over politics, as in, the leader of a church cannot go and run for office. Things like that. It isn't to say that religion is to not be alowed in public places at all.

I'm rather miffed that they took out school prayer time, and changed it to 30 seconds of silence. For the love of all that's good and holy, if kids want to say a quick prayer at school, LET THEM. If it's someone as high strung as, say, myself, it'd let them cool down a bit, and everyone is happy. If it's just someone trying to get attention, well, most likely, if it were allowed, more than one person would do it, and therefore, no one could really do it to simply get attention. Too many other people would. If anything, there'd probably be some kids that started to pretend to do it to fit in. Or something.
