[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "1.) Prayer in school." I never am quite sure what exactly people are talking about with this. Does this mean that students can't get together to pray? Does it mean that the teachers can't make a classroom be quiet while some of the students pray? I'd say that the constitutional approach would be to allow (not help) anyone to pray whenever they want, in whatever manner they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with the class. Any law forcing people to take part in a religious (for lack of a better word) ceremony is unconstutitional. But any law preventing people from doing the same is, too. As long as your expressing your beliefs doesn't interfere with someone else's education. "2.) No marriage for people who desire a committment, if they happen to be of the same gender." Marriage is a religious ritual, so I agree that the government has no business creating rules governing it. What does a marriage mean to the government, anyway? That you have to pay somewhat higher taxes is all I can see. (You'd think the taxes would be LOWER on married couples. Seems like liberals have a bad habit of punishing correct behavior. And before anyone says anything, I don't mean correct from a moral standpoint. I mean correct from the POV of the prooven statistic that children born out of wedlock have a far greater chance of engaging in criminal activity and joining gangs. Time for the country to face it: the nuclear family is essential to our culture.) "3.) Creationism." Oh, let's not start arguing about that again. But from an educational standpont, evolution directly contradicts the religious beliefs of many (me, for one), so by teaching it in schools, the government is choosing sides in a religious debate. It can't do that. So who tried to pass these laws, and when? My problem with the death penalty is that I don't think we have the right to decide that a human life is unsalvagable. [/QB][/QUOTE]
