I'm sure John Edwards is just marketing himself with all the Jesus talk, tho it is a bit disconcerting.

Edwards also said he was against teacher-led prayers in public schools, but he added that "allowing time for children to pray for themselves, to themselves, I think is not only OK, I think it's a good thing."

How about this... "personal time" for, say, 10 minutes? While some kids can pray -- God can't hear them at home? -- others can quietly do whatever they want, even play muted video games as far as I'm concerned.

Whatcha think about "personal time"? How would you feel if it was called "prayer time" with that expectation?

Give 'em God, give 'em guns, and they'll give you the White House (or something to that effect).

I don't think it is a good idea. It is really hard to know where to draw the line though. Is there any chance that some of the secular kids could feel 'left out'? I think that would be bad for the separation of church and state, and bad for any religion (to grow in ranks because it is 'popular' reeks of faulty motives).

Their families should pray with them before they leave the house. Is there some requirement in the bible somewhere that says one must pray just before or after the morning announcements?

I always ignored it.

Kids have forgotten how to do that?

but a great idea in queens, ny:
Prosecutors say that in 1996, when Sinha was 29 and the now-cop was only 13, she began giving him oral sex in the classrooms, field-trip van and adjacent rooms of the Montessori School on East 55th Street.

In each case, Sinha preyed upon a child in a vulnerable time in his life - promising love, marriage and children, prosecutor Rachel Hochhauser told jurors in opening arguments yesterday.

It’s time to stomp out atheists in America. The majority of Americans would love to see atheists kicked out of America. If you don’t believe in God, then get out of this country.

The United States is based on having freedom of religion, speech, etc., which means you can believe in God any way you want (Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc.), but you must believe.

I don’t recall freedom of religion meaning no religion. Our currency even says, “In God We Trust.” So, to all the atheists in America: Get off of our country.

Atheists have casued the ruin of this great nation by taking prayer out of our school sna being able to rpactice what can only be called evil. I don’t care if they have never committed a crime, atheists are the reason crime is rampant.

Well... If not the classmates, then they could at least focus on the teacher's breasts. Hell, given the state of things, they'd probably end up getting laid if the teacher noticed.
