That book "stayed" with me for years,as did Anne Frank's diary.<BR/><BR/>I just read that in Idaho (or is it Iowa?) that the state legislature meetings are begun every morning with a prayer by a local Christian preacher. http://www.alternet.org/<BR/><BR/>that isn't a local govment, or a christian school, or even a public school, opening their day with christian prayers ( by a state dollar PAID pastor), it is a state legislative body doing this...<BR/><BR/>I do not think that we should have christian govment employees exercising thier faith in thier place of employment, which athiests, christians, muslims, buddhists, wiccans, et al, pay for!<BR/><BR/>It is ridiculous that a Christian prayer(s),that state taxpayors pay for, are said before every state legislature meeting in a US state. We are not bound by Sharia lawin the US...why is religion in our state govments? <BR/><BR/>It needs to go, especially considering the fact that the Christian faith has "denounced" part of the state's population, and that the Christian faith is enormously prejudiced against many people, including women! <BR/><BR/>Seperation of church and state is a must. Hasn't the US learned from the horrendous example of the Spanish Catholic Church Inquisition? <BR/><BR/>And haven't the Christian churches checked the latest news that shows that the Bible was written under the influence of age old hallucinogenics? Toss the damn old book out the window! <BR/><BR/>Treat everyone as if they and you, were divine beings (which we are). <BR/><BR/>Then there would be no need for pompous, taxdollar paid christian or otherwise prayers,or...hangings....<BR/>medbhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830512.post-11578803650888413302008-03-15T20:37:00.000-04:002008-03-15T20:37:00.000-04:00Sadly those hangings (which you spoke of in your e...Sadly those hangings (which you spoke of in your earlier post) are done in the name of "god". I fear that if certain (not all mind you just certain) religious leaders had their way, we gays and lesbians would be lead to the gallows.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we could send Good Time Sally to Iraq where she could oversee the hangings of gays, I suspect she'd enjoy that.<BR/><BR/>Do yourself a favor and go find a copy of Margaret Atwood's, The Handmaid's Tale.

I don't think she is accuratly representing the folks in OK! and isn't that what she is supposed to do!<BR/>You have had some pretty insiteful posts since you finally got back online.
