"Guess God heard us."

God is now in the business of supplying 22 year old hookers for governors?

Doesn't God prefer praying in the closet instead of show off praying?

FOR OLDGUY: Your statement is the height of hypocrisy..... It took one woman, Madeline O'Hare and 9 members of an activist Supreme Court under Earl Warren to undo 200 years of law and traditions and the will of the majority. The atheist community has no place to talk about respecting the will of others. I just thank God that the arrogance of the atheist community, the ilks of the Newdows and hawkins of this world does more to strengthen the resolve of the average American who does believe in God and does care about our traditions and heritage.

I used to rail against people like you, but now I thank God, because like Pharoe your arrogance simply serves to illustrate what is worth fighting for....

Did you know that a month before ELliot Spitzers demise, that he was preparing to launch a terrible campaign against the Christian community and a call for intercessory prayer was done on a regional level to ask God to intercede and stop him... Guess God heard us.

"Why is it that the minority run the majority?"

rolln4him, a better question would be why does the majority not respect the rights of the minority?

Another good question would be doesn't the Bible say something about praying in a closet?

Hey, they ought to take a lesson from a girl who was the valedictorian at another High School... They forbid her from evoking Christ's name... so ya know what she did? She sneezed while giving her commencement address and the entire senior class said "GOD BLESS YOU"!!!!
Pass it along...

So why don't those in favor of having a praying graduation have one on their own. Rather than having the an officially sanctioned school graduation rent out a facility and all those wanting a praying graduation go to that one. That way those 6 kids and their parents can go to the official graduation and the vast majority will have separate one. LOL. This has become such a joke. I remember my public high school in the mid-80's had a very Christian ceremony the night before graduation and on graduation we had prayer. Why is it that the minority run the majority?
