In my lifelong experience as a Christian, and living on the fringes of politics, I've learned that one really can't pigeonhole issues. Every election cycle has a social issues component. If we fail to acknowledge that fact, we risk losing on the non-social issues. Whatever a society believes or doesn't believe, that's the way the world works in the long run.

Fair enough, but sometimes it's not enough to look at the "surface" of the issue. You need to look at the core of the matter.

While I don't think Government has the right to prohibit voluntary prayer in any locale or circumstances, I'm certainly opposed to Government-sponsored prayer.

I don't want Government writing Prayers for my kids. They'll just screw it up.
And I don't think that there should be sponsored Prayer in the Public Schools, because I don't think that there should BE any Public Schools. They are immoral organizations, founded upon Theft, and all Christians should support their total abolition. We should not attempt to Sanctify that which is by nature Satanic.

Arguing about Prayer in Public Schools is as stupid as arguing about Prayer in a Den of Thieves. Instead of Praying about it, howzabout we just stop robbing people?

I don’t see Public Schools as necessarily satanic, although it’s possible that they can be used for evil.

I agree that the government shouldn’t be in the prayer writing business. Furthermore, schools seem to do just fine when left alone to come up with their own, and in designating occasions for prayer. I’m just asking if Rand Paul thinks that schools should be free to do this, and it looks like he does. I can’t complain about his statement.
