Paul Harvey and Prayer

Paul Harvey says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I

don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory

Of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer

Before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there Reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a

God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the Players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country Founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others

Better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody Chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad ,

I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended.

It wouldn't bother me one bit.

When in Rome .

But what about the atheists? is another argument.

What about them?

Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If

that's asking t oo much, bring a walkman or a pair of ear

plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.

Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is

going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray . before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying..

God, help us.

And if that last sentence offends you,

well .. just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long.. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard

that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't

have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that

honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our

rights away. We are fighting back ..

and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those w ho denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all.

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

May 2007 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.

Keep looking up.

Some folks read the First amendment like this;

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

And miss this part;

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Allowing prayer on public property is not the same thing as passing a law to establish a religion.

Well said Hiway!

Amen

People can pray all they want on public property as long as they don't subject me to it or get in my way when I'm trying to ignore it.

I just said a little pray for you did you feel it, God Bless you. and Have a great day.

[wordsmythe]

The hands that help do more than the lips that pray but it doesn't matter to me how you use your time. As long as you feel better that's all it's good for.

Joe Bless you as well.

[lurker]

doG Bless You Too.

I have always wondered why they always listen to the ones that are complaining about this kind of shit. What about our rights INDEED!

[dustinwadams5]

I agree with Mr. Harvey on this one. Now i'm not the deeply religious sort, but I still bow my head when others are praying out of respect for those around me and what they believe, and guess what? It doesn't hurt me one bit to do so. Imagine that!
