The Laws Of America
I know that in this climate of “alternative facts” those of the “religious right” would like us to believe that this country and our Constitution were created under the structure of Judeo-Christianity, Under God. This is NOT true! This is a false statement. Thank goodness those incredibly wise and forward-thinking gentlemen had the wisdom to know that our great nation would populate itself with immigrants from all over the world, bringing with them their own faiths and customs. They correctly wrote into our creation the “Separation of Church and State”, all will worship freely the tenants of their faith. We shall NOT have religious wars!
Soo…any ideas of bringing “God” into our public school should at the very least look like this: Monday will be prayers from the Quran, Tuesday - Hinduism, Wednesday - Judaism, Thursday - Sikhism, Friday, prayers from the different eastern religions. Since there are approximately 20 school days in the month we should be able to accommodate most. To be constitutionally correct we must also include those that practice Satanism and Voodoo.
We sure do need a visit from those founding fathers, to explain quite a few things. A quiet visit under a tree from the son of God to the religious right would also go a long, long way, in explaining how they really, really lost their way.
