The courts can explain to us why government-appointed chaplains are constitutional but its verboten for kids to voluntarily pray in school? First Amendment jurisprudence on religion and state is a total mess.

Christian military Chaplin's can use the word "God" but they can't use the name "Jesus Christ" in the Navy - even though Christianity is based on Jesus Christ. 60 Chaplin's are petitioning our government on the 1st amendment. The military claims those of other faiths might be "offended".

We wouldn't offend any one. Just Christians.

My son just graduated from Navy bootcamp in March and several days ago we received his bootcamp yearbook. In it is a picture of a sailor and, behind him is a large figure of Christ helping him steer the ship through a storm. Beautiful!
Below it is the Navy Hymn.
