Whenever you feel as if you are the smallest and most minority, look around, there’s always someone smaller than you out there.

That being said, yes, this is an issue best left to local parishes. And if one oversteps its bounds, the courts are there to remind them that the minorities have rights too. Personally, school prayer is really a red-herring issue, designed to distract us from the important issues. It is akin to worrying about replacing a bathroom tile which is cracked when your house is being blown away by a tornado.

My article basically says, wake up America, get off the couch and pay attention to local affairs; If mainstream America would shake the apathy and get involved, our society would benefit immensely. I think that must be your greatest fear.

To call my comments treasonous and un-American is just silly. Most call it free speech.

I’m glad you feel it necessary to hurl insults, rather than begin a rational dialogue on the subject. Your statements only go to show that you are one of many who wrap themselves in the American flag, quickly denouncing everyone with opposing views as “un-American”.

Your words smack of McCarthyism.

“Whether you like it or not, representative democracy is majority rules. ”

would imply. Of course, my guess it is an intentional twisting of the facts (also known as deception, or just an out right lie) regarding how the constitutional republic was established and still exists. It exists because the system was established to protect the minority (in my case atheists) from the majority (nutcase religionists like you) who would have the government back up their religious views with force, if necessary. When “your” majority rules (read mob), people burn witches at the stake, or kill jews like dogs.

You represent the biggest threat to the institutions of America and I find your approach to “taking over” to be not just un-American, but treasonous.
