Very Simple Question about Obama

[walkeraviator]

Nobody is denied their right to prayer in school... you can pray anywhere you want at anytime... what is not allowed is for the school to have a mass prayer that puts people of other religions in an awkward position. Teachers and faculty are paid by the government and are therefore representatives of the government, and if they choose to force anyone to pray or sit and listen to others pray in any religious facet, they are violating a persons fredom of religion...

so as a christian with a brain i realize that i can and WILL pray wherever and whenever i want, but i cannot expect the country to cater to my religion and allow school wide prayers or teacher led devotionals... i as a Chrictian should take it upon myself to form the devotional group and worship God on my own... which public schools still allow...

as for the montana incident, please tell me the owners of teh house got lawyers involved....

I noticed that the first thing you posted was STUPID which was your Words of Wisdom on your profile: "He who goes to bed with itchy butt wakes up with stinky finger." It's always a delight to meet a Christian with so much class.....and with a brain.

You know the Muslims knew what kind of stir this would cause, and they choose to go ahead and apply to have the Mosque put there, why? because its a big slap in the face of America. They knew Osama, I mean Obama would approve it, the probaly talked about when he was visiting family over there. Do you think these same Muslims would of tried to build this Mosque when George Bust was President, I think he would of had that smirk on his face, and told the American people, let them try it!!! If these people had ANY RESPECT for the American people, they would of never ever even considered this, they know exactly what they are doing, and they are all laughing in our faces!!!

I would still like to know why and how the Muslims recevied permission to build their Mosque ON NEWLY ACQUIRED LAND when two Christian churches next to the World Trade Center that were destroyed on 9/11 still have not received permission to rebuild their churches ON LAND THEY HAVE OWNED FOR MANY YEARS, and for that matter, the owners of the land where the World Trade Center was still have not been approved for any new buidlings (this according to Fox News)!!! (How is that for a run on sentence?)

Just asking, do we know for sure the church owned the land? In some cases, the city retains title to the land, and the person that builds the building only has a possessory right so long as the land is used for that purpose only. Just asking, did the TV guys clear that up.

Ah.......the city approved it, not Obama, according to this.

And.....WOW, they are building at ground zero and have been since 2005?

Obama didn't approve it.....he said its not right to deny freedom of religion.
He can't approve it. The New York City folks are the ones who have to issued the building permit, review the zoning laws, and decide what gets built in their City.

Yeah...You're correct on this one, BUT...Even though he can't approve anything when it comes to the construction of buildings, he APPROVES of it! And considering the high office that he holds is colse enough to approving it in my opinion.

If they'd let the American people vote on it I'd bet it wouldn't be approved. My vote says burn the prints and specs.

That's what I meant Tim, obviously he is not on the builiding commitee, but I bet he would pressure whomever he had to to make sure it was approved!
