School Prayer

You have provided excellent counters for my arguments. I thank you again for being respectful. Although you present statements that seem plausible on the surface, there is more on the bottom of them. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #1 Including the words "under God" in fact is unconstitutional due to the fact that for Congress to include the words they had to pass something to the government to establish its stay. The man responsible for including the statement was President Eisenhower thus concluding that the inclusion of the statement goes against the first amendment. Also, removing the statement does not favor anyone(not even atheists)due to the fact that it will become without faith or belief and more like a general statement. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #2 The minority and majority should come to a consensus of fairness and equality instead of them fighting each other on who should be paying or not. All beliefs should pay a price if they want to hear what is pleasing to their ears in educational facilities. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #3 You state that morality is only logical to be present when there is a God(gods, or god)controlling ethics from the core. In a sense, there is some sense put into the argument such as what it means to be moral. There are some flaws though. There is a certain chemical in the human body that allows us to want ,and achieve into greater depths. Its name is dopamine. Dopamine is the main reason why humans want to keep on living and be happy. It is the fuel for our wanting to live, and makes us feel pleasant when we do something altruistic or accomplishing thus pointing out that some people have a reason to be moral because it gives them a sense of purpose and pleasure; dopamine. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #4 You point out that the majority should be getting their way, and that is true, but that does not mean that the majority should be shoving their views ,and putting down people that are different. That also points out that the reason the founders of this nation made it in the first place was because of freedom from discrimination and oppression of the minority, and sometimes majority. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #5 There is no tangible evidence that Christians are going to be a minority and I apologize, but I meant that they might. So to put it in perspective, I gave a different scene where Christians would be the minority. ******************************************************************************************************* Reason #6 Although the nation is technically a "Christain nation"due to the majority being it(regardless of what the media makes it seem like), the minority should be part of the entire body as well. Although it is true that people should not get offended because of leaders religious views in which will turn out that the person getting offended will be a hypocrite due to the fact that they would want to force something upon them, there is no reason to be pretentious about it. ******************************************************************************************************* Sources -http://www.psychologistworld.com... -http://www.ushistory.org...
