Why a stand on religion? The minute interpretation of Bible, Koran, Hinduism, Judaism, whatever, is not the important thing. The important thing to the welfare of the world body population is that religions of any kind translate into ethics and morality.
The morality is knowing and understanding the difference between right and wrong. It is the morality where individuals take the responsibility for our actions. There is a societal impact when we do not behave and stand for those things which absolutely differentiate between right and wrong, moral and immoral, ethical and unethical.Therefore, religion, in whatever form, needs to be laced into everything that we do. Our family, our schools, our government, our public meetings. Religion creates or supervises the instinct to know intuitively those things that have value and those things that have no value.
When you believe in something, you have a quality of ethics. When you believe in nothing, you actually believe in everything. But all things aren't good.
This is an attempt to defend prayer in schools, public meetings, governmental affairs and all other places that religion is being chased out of.
I encourage all who have religious beliefs of any kind to demand that the ethics of religious standards be upheld. Without those standards, we cannot have the decency, the morality, the knowledge of right and wrong.
For all of you who want to make prayer legal again - count me in.
