Why do religious nuts feel the need to try and make my child (and yours) pray in school? Even if I was religious what makes these zealots assume I would be a Christian? You know church and state were separated for a reason and this issue of prayer in school is a great example of why they were separated. The very idea of forcing a practice that has been made illegal is sickening. For once our supreme court made the right decision. The issue has been brought up (yet again) recently (I can't for the life of me remember where I say this or where it is occurring). Notice that they only want Christian prayers to be allowed. What if I am a member of the church of Satan? If this shit goes though can my son say Satanic prayers in school? That would really drive the christ freaks nuts wouldn't it?

The separation of church and state is degrading and that frightens me. A bill was just passed that made it okay to post a list of the 10 commandments in the lobby of our local courthouse. I don't want to see that outdated shit and I should not have to. The courthouse is where the separation is falling the fastest. Just look at what you have to do to testify. You have to place your hand on a bible. The bible is THE expression of religion yet they make you touch it to get on the stand. Same thing with the oath. "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth SO HELP YOU GOD!!!!". When I went to court I said "NO". The judge looked at me funny and I told him I will NOT swear to a god I do not belive exists. He looked at me long and hard and finally let me testify (in my own defense no less) by not making me place my hand on that book and taking the word "GOD" out of the oath. To me the oath should be "Do you promise to put your hand on a book you don't belive in & swear before an institution you have no respect for"?

What really scares me is these religious politicians. When I am listening to a politician speak (well I never really listen but anyway) and they start in on some religious crap that frightens me. Thankfully the zealots have not really had any fellow nuts elected into absolute power (yet). It is always christianity too. You don't see the Jewish pushing their religion on others. Or the Satanists or......well thats about it. All of the others seem to show up at my door damn near begging me to join them. If your religion was so damn great then why the need to push it on others?

Also these pinheads all seem to take the bible as the word of god. The bible is the word of man. It is the word of the a controlling few. If they make up their laws and claim it is gods law all the rest of the mindless sheep that are buying this will think of the writer as speaking for god and well that creates Hitlers. I just wish people would think for themselves and not follow some outdated and outright stupid ideals. Damn it we have free will and we just sign it over to be placated by the idea of an afterlife. Sheep being led to the slaughter.
