"It is a sad commentary on our witness that the persons in our society who are most indifferent toward the poor, most enthusiastic about guns and war, most relucatant to rehabilitate prisoners or provide treatment for drug addicts and AIDS victims, [those people] make the strongest claims about having a Christian nation and argue for prayer in public schools."True! Ouch!
At Journey, our hope is to break this cycle and truly follow Jesus' commands to love our neighbors, embrace peace, and offer the kingdom of God to those around us. May we be that kind of people!

To me, it makes sense that the people who are pro-guns, indifferent to poverty and aids, etc. are arguing for a "Christian nation" and prayer in public schools.
The problem is their desire for a Christian nation is an oppresive one, which would suppress other religions legally. The prayer in public schools that they are pushing for is oppressive, where one person, or groups of people try to impose their beliefs on the ears of all the other students, faculty and staff.
Just a thought...
