Mildly amusing school prayer petition destined for Bush

Look what miraculously landed in my inbox today. It's interesting to think that Christians actually believe they are persecuted.

Dear President Bush: Many of us were deeply touched to hear you recite a portion of Psalm 23 in your address to this great nation in the dark hours following the terrorists attacks. We were encouraged and comforted to know that we truly had a believer working with us and for us in our nation's highest office. We, the people of America, are requesting that you lift the prohibition of prayer in schools. As the pledge of our great country states, we are to be One nation, under God. Please allow the prayers and petitions of our children in schools without the threat of punishment. Currently, adults and children in the school are prohibited from mentioning God unless of course His name is uttered as part of a curse or profanity. Madeline Murray O'Hare is dead. Let her legacy of atheism in our schools die with her!

Sincerely, The people of America Mark 10:13-14 "People were bringing little children to Jesus to have Him touch them, but the disciples rebuked Him.

PETITION TO REINSTATE PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS:

someone needs to send them a copy of the Constitution. UGGHHHH.

"People were bringing little children to Jesus to have Him touch them, but the disciples rebuked Him"

Ewwwwwww, sounds nasty!

I'm sure the "Christian" conservatives will be pleased when Muslim, Buddhist, Scientology, Pagan and Wiccan students start praying in schools. I would just love to see the looks on the faces of some of these fundamentalist wackos as they are forced to sit through the prayers of non-western religions!

we can't have heathens blaspheme the lord doncha know....now scoot and go play king dubya and the evil doers with yer friends...
