Doch leider kanns gefählich sein, den Satan in dir zu verstehen.
Jeder Mensch ein Sünderschwein, Oh christliches Vergehen.
Die Trennung zwischen Gut und Bös die wirst du niemals finden
nur leider kanns gefährlich sein das den Pfaffen auf die Nasen zu binden.

| Zitat: | | Im Stadtrat von Great Falls war es bislang üblich, Sitzungen mit Gebeten im Namen Jesu Christi zu eröffnen. Wynne forderte, man solle entweder Vertreter verschiedener Religionen einladen, um die Gebete zu sprechen, oder nur noch allgemein zu “Gott” beten. “Wir sind sehr enttäuscht von dieser Entscheidung, werden uns dem aber vorerst fügen”, sagte Bürgermeister H. C. Starnes zu dem Urteil. Man werde Berufung einlegen. |
Das erinnert mich an was...

| Zitat: | >Dear John,
> As you know, we've been working real hard in our town to get
>prayer back in the schools. Finally, the school board approved a
>plan of teacher-led prayer with the children participating at their
>own option. Children not wishing to participate were to be allowed
>to stand out in the hallway during the prayer time. We hoped someone
>would sue us so we could go all the way to the Supreme Court and get
>that old devil-inspired ruling reversed.
> Naturally, we were all excited by the school board's action. As
>you know, our own little Billy (not so little, any more, though) is
>now in the second grade. Of course, Margaret and I explained to him
>no matter what the other kids did, he was going to stay in the
>classroom and participate.
> After the first day of school, I asked him, "How did the prayer time go?"
> "Fine."
> "Did many kids go out into the hallway?"
> "Two."
> "Excellent. How did you like your teacher's prayer?"
> "It was different, Dad. Real different from the way you pray."
> "Oh? Like how?"
> "She said, `Hail, Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners...'"
> The next day I talked with the principal. I politely explained I
>wasn't prejudice against Catholics but I would appreciate Billy
>being transferred to a non-Catholic teacher. The principal said it
>would be done right away.
> At supper that evening I asked Billy to say the blessings. He
>slipped out of his chair, sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his
>eyes, raised his hands palms up and began to hum.
> You'd better believe I was at the principal's office at eight
>o'clock the next morning. "Look," I said. "I don't really know much
>about these Transcendental Meditationists, but I would feel a lot
>more comfortable if you could move Billy to a room where the teacher
>practices and older, more established religion.'"
> That afternoon I met Billy as soon as he walked in the door after school.
> "I don't think your going to like Mrs. Nakasone's prayer, either, Dad."
> "Out with it."
> "She kept calling God `O Great Budda...'"
> The following morning I was waiting for the principal in the
>school parking lot. "Look, I don't want my son praying to the
>Eternal Spirit of whatever or to Buddha. I want him to have a
>teacher that prays in Jesus' name!"
> "What about Bertha Smith?"
> "Excellent."
> I could hardly wait to hear about Mrs. Smith's prayer. I was
>standing on the front steps of the school when the final bell rang.
> "Well?" I asked Billy as we walked towards the car.
> "Okay."
> "Okay what?"
> "Mrs. Smith asked God to bless us and ended her prayer in Jesus
>name, amen - just like you."
> I breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we're getting some place."
> "She even taught us a verse of scripture about prayer," said Billy.
> I beamed. "Wonderful. What was the verse?"
> "Let's see..." he mused for a moment. " `And behold, they began to
>pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their
>God.'"
> We had reached the car. "Fantastic," I said, reaching for the door
>handle. Then I paused. I couldn't place the scripture. "Billy, did
>Mrs. Smith say what book that verse was from?"
> "Third Nephi, chapter 19, verse 18."
> "Third what?"
> "Nephi," he said, "It's in the Book of Mormon."
> The school board doesn't meet for a month. I've given Billy very
>definite instructions that at prayer time each day he's to go out
>into the hallway. I plan to be at that board meeting. If they don't
>do something about this situation, I'll sue. I'll take it all the
>way to the Supreme Court if I have to. I don't need the schools or
>anybody else teaching my son about religion. We can take care of
>that ourselves at home and at church, thank you very much.
> Give my love to Sandi and the boys.
> Your buddy,
> Mark |
