The fact that religious people have their own schools to send their kids to isn't enough. The fact that religious people can pray silently in public school, or organize prayer groups during free periods is not enough.
The only acceptable outcome is forcing everyone in public schools to sit...
Would you be in favor of Christian children being forced to sit quietly for 15 minutes during public school time for sponsored Muslim prayer?
OK let's back up a second because no one is talking about Muslim or Christian schools. This makes me think you don't understand the issue.

Absolutely. I watched my grandfather, a once proud Marine, die slowly and painfully. Towards the end he would beg my father to die, he just wanted to go out with some dignity. That fact that he did not have that choice...there is something wrong with that. It's his life, he chose how to live...

All that is not allowed is requiring the prayer during school time. No one is...
This boggles my mind. So a month ago you recognized the Greek Gods as merely tales, not factually real...and then you just "decided" to believe they are real?? How does that work? How do you convince yourself?
I think it's "alright" to a certain point. I mean morally it's fine, I am just...
It says:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

When you say "accurate" how do you know? What makes your assertion "accurate" compared to someone else's? None of this is knowable in any way after all. Aren't you just projecting your particular imagining of God?
Yahweh hates losing his fantasy football league. Xenu has won it all three years in a row so now He has resorted to cheap tactics and in-game miracles.
