: anti religion. I think it's a nice idea. Mostly they're just saying be nice to one another or suffer consequences. That being said, I do not want the church and state to be integrated. That's exactly what our country is supposed have been found upon. And, being a country that is supposedly accepting of all other religions, how can we go about saying the word God and expecting people to not be offended. I think it's a dangerous path and I'm almost tempted to be offended myself.
that if you want to designate a day to prayer, to each their own. I realize that it's just Bush trying to do the 'right thing'.. But isn't that why they took prayer out of schools.. Because school was local government? What's next, chappel after lunch in highschools across the country? Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-christianity I just think that if church and state are supposed to be seperate, don't step over that to spread your beliefs.
