And that was the way it was for many years. Heck, I'm old enough to remember prayer time in my public school classes. And around Christmas time the school choir put on a beautiful show, with many traditional songs of a religious nature.
Those were all good things. But back then, no muslim (or Buddhist, or whatever) would even think to sue over it. And if he did sue, no judge would grant the petition.
But as you and I know, times have changed. The islamist will sue, and the judge will grant the petition. Those are simply the unfortunate facts of today.
You bet. The Lords Prayer, every day. Of course there was a schism between the Catholics and the Protestants over the last line, "For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever and ever." ... said by the Protestants but not the Catholics. The Protestants felt ultrapious, with heads still bowed, as I can attest, while the Catholics, I presume, felt loftily superior with heads uplifted. Yet, we all got along.
