A continuing email betwen me and a Christian friend of mine. (latest email on top)
from Alan: Yes it does make sense. I still do not believe that we should change our money or the pledge of alligence for a small minority.
If we do then another small minority will want something else changed and where will it end.
I will still pray for all the nonbelievers whether they like it or not.
from Bruce:
I believe that non-believers respect those who wish to pray whenever they want and long as it is not
sponsored by any government entity - For instance, if before a public high school football game (part of the government) lead a Christian prayers at a high school, that would be illegal, however, it is not illegal for anyone to pray on their own without government sponsorship. If you disagree with this, maybe you'd consider how upset you'd be if there was a wiccan or Muslim prayer sponsored by the school. Of course if you were at a private school, you could have any sponsorship prayer you wanted. Does this make sense?

from Alan: They already have those rights. It has been tried for the duration of civilization and you will never seperate the two. I never try to convert anyone but I also have the right to pray as do sport figures on the field. these people have the right to use only plastic instead of cash and not watch sports.
from Bruce:
Of all the atheist I have met, none of the try and persuade the people around them to become christians. Most are not militaistic and simply want ot believe in the same thing our founding fathers wanted - to have church and state separation and to have the same rights as believers.
from Alan: I believe they are just trying to upset the applecart. I really do not care as much about the money as i do about the Pledge of Alligence.I actually do care about the money. I firmly believe , In God we trust, all others pay cash. I am very much looking forward to the Cat house ride. Alan
from Bruce:
If you mean the 14% than are non believers, I think they dont want to take god away from everyone else, they seem to want the same rights as believers. Ive talked to atheists that say they are against placing 'there is not god' on our money just as much as 'in god we trust' on our money. That jus means they dont want ANY type (religious or irreligious) comments made by our government - wouldnt you agree?
from Alan: Because 14% of the people are louder than than the 86% that are to complacent.
from Bruce: why do you think god is being taken out of our land?
from Alan: 'They' (the atheists) are trying to take God away from us and out of America
