HYPOCRISY of PRAYER in PUBLIC / SCHOOLS ! What JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF Said About It !

               LIKE THE TALIBAN, fundamentalist Christians want to 
          create and MIS-use man-made laws to IMPOSE their self-
          righteous religious values against the rest of us.

               Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, the 
          the "Christian Coalition", and a LOT of SELF-RIGHTEOUS 
          fundamentalist "Christians" want to RE-IMPOSE prayer 
          into the public schools, as well as in certain government 
          ceremonies, etc.. 

               But what did Jesus Christ HIMSELF say about people who 
          pray in public?  In Matthew 6:5 KJV he called them HYPOCRITES !
          
               He said in the next verse that people should pray 
          SILENTLY IN THEIR CLOSETS--in other words, IN PRIVATE.  (Or 
          if in public, they should do it silently IN THEIR HEADS, 
          withOUT the SHOWY bowed head and folded hands.) 

               Parents who want their kids to openly and verbally pray 
          in school can send them to private PAROCHIAL schools, as well 
          as to church Sunday school, withOUT forcing it on others. 

               "Student-led" prayers should NOT be allowed where OTHER 
          possibly NON-Christian students are compelled to attend, such 
          as at graduation ceremonies.

          P.S.: Praying "for" someone without his or her EXPRESSED 
          permission is a form of MIND CONTROL, BLACK MAGIC, and VOODOO 
          which will result in very HEAVY and INTENSE NEGATIVE KARMA 
          for the perpetrator(s) !  BE WARNED !

          P.S.2: PASS IT ON !
