Ok, I just have to put my two cents in on prayer in public places...I am really tired of hearing people say that Christians are trying to push our religion down their throats...The fact of the matter is that those of other religions want to shove their false beliefs down the Christians throats..I have always prayed before any sporting event I was involved in...In our school we always said the Lord's Prayer before our game and then during warm-ups before the game I would go to the corner of the end zone, basketball court or wherever and say my own prayer to the Lord....And you want to know something..I was not raised in a Christian house, never attended church and would not have called myself a Christian back then but saying a prayer to our Lord and Savior NEVER offended me!!  What is wrong with praying to God and asking for His protection upon the players??  I just don't get it!!

I am also the Town Council President for the Town I live in and before every meeting I open with a prayer..I always ask God to guide the Council in their decisions and that this Town is His and to let His will be done for this Town..And you want to know something...His will is being done in this Town, we have a Christian man who is buying the old buildings in town and he is fixing them up and bringing businesses to this town...The Town has been really close on grants and was told we may not get them but the Lord rewarded out Town because of our prayers...Prayers are a powerful thing!!

I also run my own business and I have had Bible Studies and have prayed for people and the business with other people and some of my employees...Id this a bad thing?? Nope...sometimes the only God people will see is through us...

As you can tell I am really sick and tired of hearing how we Christians shove our religion down others throat...The fact of the matter is I am really sick of people pushing their religion down everyone elses throats and they think that they can shove their religion down our throats and then cry that the big bad Christians are not playing fair...It is time for the Christians to stand up and take a stand for what they believe in..

In my opinion it is time to bring prayer back into the schools, work-place and our homes...When we do this we will slowly see a revival in this country and then and only then will this country become the great power that it has been in the past!!
