I'm not trying to stir anything up, I'm genuinely baffled. (And I only used pagans as an example becuase it pertains to me, but I mean all non-mainstream faiths)
I am not saying that the book of Romans, John, Acts, etc, from the Bible should be preached to kids in school, but simple things like the pledge of allegience, that were a common place...i feel it should be able to be said, if you don't believe in it, then refrain from saying it...but don't tell Christians that they can't say it ....and don't tell Christians that they have to cover their cross when they enter the school, like i think Samatha Puppy was told ( to cover her crusifix), then a Pagan, shouldn't be able to wear something exemplifing their religion, neither should a Jewish person, etc...

For instance, I have attended Catholic sevices during weddings i have been invited to, i am not Catholic...when prayers are being resited, i refrain from saying them...that is not how I practice my religion...so i reserve the right to refrain from saying them...

All i was saying, is that i feel that it is quite evident that with every little ounce of God being removed from schools, and society as a whole, the world is slowly becoming a more tragic place to live in, then say, 50 years back, when it was evident that God was in control of many people's lives and the schools respected Him....things were just more moral and safe.
