How can one religion even begin to think that they can ask for prayer to their god put into our public schools? Yes, I'm talking about those crazy Christians. Apparently none of them have ever read their Bible either because it plainly says in Matthew 6:5-6 "and when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synogogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verify I say unto you, they have their reward. But when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeith in secret shall reward thee openly." To me, those verses clearly command believers NOT to pray in public, and for obvious reasons. If you believe in god, that is your own personal decision, and a matter entirely personal to you and you only. We don't want your prayer and will not tolerate it being pushed on us.
