Romans 1 states that people will know there is a God by what they see in creation, but what most kids are not able to understand, and I believe is the reason for so much suicide among our students is that without a God and heaven and hell, kids make choices to end life thinking their life on this earth is all that there is. ITS TIME TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK TO OUR ONE TRUE GOD!!!!! I expect we are not far from that day. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.

This Supreme Court Ruling on Prayer in Public Schools Made America Go Nuts. People always want to simple explanations for complex problems. They did not impose their beliefs on anyone else.

Put Prayer and the Ten commandments and everything Godly back into our school. Are we so weak minded? Clermont, pray in the the closet secretly and god will reward you openly. Without failure, we have no objective standard by which to measure success (which renders success meaningless). Japan, where no one prays at school, has the lowest crime rate of any developed nation. You dont have to believe it but its true. Open private schools that are free to teach religion, have prayer Bible reading, and let each parent decide where they want to send their child.
