It is All Saints Day. And it is a religious holiday...lol. It isnt secular....lol. Another lie. I guess Easter, Christmas, oops cant say that sorry Winter Break, are all secular to right?
What I find funny is how people equate seperation of church and state to mean just that. Absolutely no connection. They couldn't be more wrong on that matter. Go read the constitutional convention and what occured there. The seperation of church and state only applies to the form of rule that occured in England and the Church of England. That is the seperation our founders wanted. Not complete seperation from everything God related as most now read it.
Why are people offended when a prayer is said? All a prayer is, is a good will toward those being prayed for. Who is harmed by that? Just another convoluted mentality, that somehow someone saying a prayer is descriminatory toward someone else, or insults someone else.
How much better would the world be if everyone prayed for everyone else in everything they did? Understand, I am not saying you have to be a Christian or join a religion, but just doing something nice or keeping people in their thoughts. How bad can a prayer be really?
I know someone here will go off the map with my comment here, just getting ahead of myself. Whoever that person may be sorry for your misinterpretation of my comment.
