Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

"Remember: the debate is not about who has more experience; the purpose of the debate is to learn the truth"I agree with you on that. Reason I typed that was because I am going by my observation of your statements that were made not what you believe.  "Are you attempting to win debates or are you attempting to acquire truth? I am still awaiting someone to prove that my arguments are validly false"I made it loud and clear that I do not have all the answers more than one time. Not just this posting, but previous one, including a message. And I already made it clear that I enjoy dialoguing with people. It is how it is coming across. The impression of which I pointed out to you. Granted, I have challenged your statement and I take responsibility for that by stating that I did challenged you, but I am being upfront with you when I notice that impression, I feel that I do not want to read what you have to type. Maybe later. If I do I do, if I don't, I don't."(I have been wrong about much, but the time has come when I am no longer as dull-minded as I once was. And perhaps someone can challenge my assertions better than I have.)"We all do not have all the answers right? I read your postings and I know your a smart person. As I mentioned to you, the impression, how it came across. I am not going to lie to you. Right now, I don't want to respond. Maybe later. If I do, I do and if I don't, I dont.

Side: No

OK, on one hand, I agree with you that prayer is a private thing that should not be anywhere near entering public environments. However, with what you put about your Jesus friend, HOW THE FUCK IS A SYNAGAGUE A PUBLIC PLACE?! SAYING THAT IT IS A PUBLIC PLACE AND THAT WE ARE HYPOCRITES FOR PRAYING IN OUR OWN HOLY STRUCTURE IS WORSE THAN ANY OTHER INSULT AND HYPOCRITICAL ACT YOU FUCKING CHRISTIANS COULD EVERY HAVE DONE, EVER!

Easy there!One of my good friends is a Jew. What do you think public means? Explain how my argument pits me as a hypocrite. (I'll debate when your ready to be less emotional.)

Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

Umm if I am not mistaken synogougues and churches etc. Are usually built with taxpayer money and on public land. This makes them public structures like a school or courthouse.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

No it doesn't. The government shouldnt have any control over the church
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

I agree that we need to pray in private, but we also should pray anywhere and every where. The bible agrees, " Therefore, I desire that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting" (I Titus 2:8)
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

You are taking that verse and trying to make it mean something else. What Jesus was trying to teach us hear is that where we pray or how long we pray doesn't matter. What matters is that we are truly worshiping Him. Now as for the people who pray at school, They aren't breaking Jesus' command. In fact Jesus NEVER commands his disciples to pray in private. All He was saying was that people need to be praying for the right reasons. No Christian should go out in front of people and pray just to look good. But if they do pray out loud in public they need to be sincere about it; they need to be praying for a reason. All this to say that you need to study your Bible and understand it before you make false observations about it. Also if you know your history, you would see that this country was founded on Christian principles. Some people say that our forefathers wern't Christians but that is one of the most rediculous things I have ever heard. And although they were strong Christians and had every right to make this nation strictly Christian (which it should be), they decided to give people freedom of religion. So those kids have every right to pray in school even if they aren't Christians (Though they will eventually be judged by God).
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

Also if you know your history, you would see that this country was founded on Christian principles.TREATY OF TRIPOLI; Article XI"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." ~January 3, 1797Submitted by John Adams to the U.S. senate which was later passed unanimously.Some people say that our forefathers wern't ChristiansSome were, some weren't.Benjamin Franklin was a DeistAlexander Hamilton was ChristianThomas Paine was a DeistEthan Allen was a DeistJames Monroe was a DeistThomas Jefferson was a Unitarian (with a deistic leaning)George Washington was ChristianJohn Adams was a Unitarian (with Christian leaning)John Quincy Adams was a UnitarianJohn Jay was ChristianJames Madison- unknown (didn't talk about religion)had every right to make this nation strictly Christian (which it should be)No, it shouldn't. Europe for over a thousands years was soaked in blood from religious differences. Theocracy and freedom are incompatible.So those kids have every right to pray in schoolThis has always been the case. Kids have never been disallowed from praying. What is disallowed is school sponsored prayer. Teachers cannot ask or encourage the children to pray, they must do it on their own if they do it at all.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

As the government of the united states of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.... Christian principles and Christian religion are 2 totally different things. Religion is a set of beliefs that a person believes in. A principle is A set of rules that someone follows. Christian principles are kind of like good moral principles. For example: don't steal, don't lie, don't covet, don't murder, don't commit adultery, honor your father and mother... now obviously there are more complicated principles than these that our founding fathers Put in place or followed but it wasn't a religion in any way. Plus back the most people were Christian and if they weren't they still believed that there was some sort of god.  Whether are forefathers were Christian or notDeism: the belief that GOD created the world and then just stepped back and let it function on its own. So you see they still believed in God.Unitarian: the belief in god as one but not 3. So you see they also believed in God but they just had a diferent view about him. Plus look at all the quotes that see men wrote. 90 percent of them were talking about God and Christianity. Bloodshed in eouropeYa blood was shed for 1000 years but for what cause. For Christianity, for religious freedom. In our pledge of allegiance it says "one nation under God" does it say under Buddha or muhamid? NO it says under GOD.As far as praying goes, no that hasn't always been the case. I have heard of many people who have gotten in trouble for talking about God or praying to God and that I think is rediculous. Also teachers aren't aloud to read their bible at school either. This country is starting to become one nation with no God. You leave God out of schools, you leave God out of this nation.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Christian principles and Christian religion are 2 totally different things.Specifically what Christian principals do you think the United States was founded on?A principle is A set of rules that someone follows. Christian principles are kind of like good moral principles. For example: don't steal, don't lie, don't covet, don't murder, don't commit adultery, honor your father and mother...Don't steal and don't murder are the only ones that are actually illegal, and just about every society since the beginning of recorded history has had rules against these things. Plus back the most people were Christian and if they weren't they still believed that there was some sort of god.That is inconsequential to the argument at hand. Whether are forefathers were Christian or notDeism: the belief that GOD created the world and then just stepped back and let it function on its own. So you see they still believed in God.I never said they didn't.Bloodshed in eourope. Ya blood was shed for 1000 years but for what cause.I already said, religious differences. Some people wanted the government to support their religious beliefs, and many people died because of it. Our founding fathers saw this as a cause of conflict, so they specifically made the U.S. government neutral on matters of religion, yet there are still people today who would like our government to explicitly support their religious views.In our pledge of allegiance it says "one nation under God" does it say under Buddha or muhamid? NO it says under GOD.Only since 1954, when it was added to the pledge by Republican President Eisenhower. When the pledge was originally written it did not have the words "Under God".Here is the pledge as it was originally written by Francis Bellamy in 1892:http://www.mindspring.com/~wjager/pix/pledge.jpg I have heard of many people who have gotten in trouble for talking about God or praying to God and that I think is rediculous.There is no law against praying in school. There is no law against talking about God, it just can't be a part of the lesson and the prayer must be student-led.Also teachers aren't aloud to read their bible at school either.Why do you need to read it aloud, unless you're trying to convert students? School is not a place for proselytizing. I'm sure if you wanted to read it aloud in an empty room on break time, no one would have any complaints. Some schools even have a bible-study during lunchtime, that students are not required to attend. This country is starting to become one nation with no God.Religion is a private matter, which Government has no business in. Schools are tax payer funded, they are a part of the Government. Preach to your own children not to mine.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Which prayer? Should it only be christian prayer? Or maybe the school should alternate between christian, jewish, muslim, hindu, animist, mormon, buddist, and scientologist prayers? Or, alternatively, we can decide to spend our tax dollars only on things that won't make people think the government is sending them to hell.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

The more I think about it the more I don't like the idea of praying with classmates that aren't the same religion as me even if we are both Christian. Some Christians pray differently than other Christians. Let alone all of the many types of religions that are in the U.S. today. It's just to complicated. (now don't get me wrong, this is no reason to not let kids sing Christmas songs and change the name "Christmas Break" to "Winter Break" this has nothing to do with that) To tell you the truth I do pray in school. Not aloud just by myself, in my head. As weird as that sounds. I don't need a big group holding hands. I don't need it to be public. But that's just me. The bottom line is that theres usually always going to be a smaller % and no matter what belief the smaller % has, it's not fare to them.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

It is Winter Break. At least where I live. And it has been for a long long time.Why? Because its the politically correct thing to call it in a nation where people of many religions, even those without, reside and educate their children together.Duh.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Political Correctness is censorship.If that's what they wish to call it, go ahead. But no one should bitch if they call it Christmas break. Words are merely words. We have bigger problems like murder and rape and suppression of individual rights (such as free speech).
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Yeah but it's timed so that kids have Christmas off. Everybody knows that. It's for Christmas. If we are going to go out of our way to please everyone, why not give kids every religiouse holiday off? It's not about pleasing everyone, it's about people being afraid of the word Christmas. Or any title that includes Christ.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

Who is afraid of the word Chistmas?I don't believe in God, and I say Christmas all I want. Because Christmas doesn't have a flying fuck to do with religion anymore. Its just a holiday. Those who celebrate other holidays are usually able to take those days off.The reason it is called Winter Break, or should be, is because everyone is given that time off. Even those who do not celebrate Christmas.It's not harder to say Winter, it shouldn't hurt you, so be Christian about it and respect others.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

"Christmas doesn't have a flying fuck to do with religion anymore."Yes it does. Christmas is a Christian holiday and that pisses people like you off because something you like isn't yours. It is a fact that you are wrong, look it up. The words: "winter holiday" can't change that, you can't change that, and a million Santas can't change that because it's a fact. Bummer I know. You can go buy a "holiday tree" and buy some gifts. But that's not celebrating Christmas. "It's not harder to say Winter, it shouldn't hurt you, so be Christian about it and respect others." What about the word "Christmas Break" is disrespectful? I thought you weren't afraid of that word? D:
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Making prayer in school is making those who don't want to participate public pariahs, Prayer in school is unconstitutional and in every respect illegal.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

People should be allowed to pray privately in schools if they want to do so without distracting other students or making a scene, but by no means should the school itself actually advocate and lead prayer itself. There are institutions people can go to to pray as much as they want, and schools are not those institutions. I don't teach in your church, so don't preach in my school.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

Schools should be allowed to lead prayer if they want to. If you kick god out of schools, you are kicking God out of this country, and eventually you kick God out of this world. And if that happens well you better be expecting the worst, most horrible times that have ever occurred in the history of the earth. Kick God out of your life- well good luck!!!
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

The Founding Fathers wanted it this way and it should stay that way. Prayer is a massive waste of time. We should learn while in school, we have a hard enough time doing that in this country.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

there is actually nothing special in the prayet 'cz Ithink that 90% of the studets as well as teachers think that it is just the waste of time and because of this, he actual motto of the prayer is not keeping in touch. So, it is not useful and just a waste of timeand even not liked by anyone
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: yes

the only reason is because the prayers are for home reasons. like me, i pray at night before bed as the christians usually do. also, no one wants to hear others prayer and it would be waayy to much commotion
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

No, schools like all other public places and institutions including governments should be secular. however people have the right to faith but it should be practiced in their own time. Surely it is only fair that people do not force their beliefs on anyone else. I mean if I tomorrow went to college and stated that in my biology lecture that it is the hour of Gandalf and i must be excused to go into the canteen and spout incantations about Frodo and his sacred quest to destroy the ring id be shipped to the closest nut house, on the other hand if i said i wish to leave and point my mat towards a north African country and prey to an omnipotent omniscient creator of all it would be excused.

Ok think about if people believed just the opposite that you do, what would you do then? Also by the second paragraph you have absolutely no clue whatsoever about religion

Ok think about if people believed just the opposite that you do, what would you do then?Some people do, but educational institutions should be non-denominational.Also by the second paragraph you have absolutely no clue whatsoever about religionExplain this statement please.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

Student run prayer sessions are one thing, but for the school to be condoning prayer goes against our constitution. I'm assuming thats what you mean by the question, right? 1st Amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereofThe school can't prohibit or endorse prayer. It has to be up to the students, not the state. End of story.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

I feel that if it is someones religion to pray at certain times, schools should allow those student to go into a quiet area and prayAs far as a scheduled pray everyday at school, i am opposed because schools have to show respect for all religions. Suppose someone was an Atheist
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: No

No, because I think at schools we must only think about lessons, generally about studying, the school is not church. The school is place where you learn about scientific things,but not about religion!!!
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: Depends what school prayer means

ASSUMING THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL....If by "school prayer" you mean that somehow a public school official (teacher, principal, counselor, administrator, janitor, etc) is leading or mentioning a school prayer OR is allowing a prayer group to disrupt/take up time of a normal public school lesson; then no it should NOT be allowed.If by "school prayer" you mean allowing the ability for any individual to pray without disrupting any class function; then of course it should be allowed.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

You people saying yes are forgetting- what about the Atheists? Maybe everyone else would be praying to their God, but there are some religions (such as Atheism) that don't believe in a God. I feel that no one should be forced to do anything that goes against their religious views. Sure, they could stand silently and not pray, but that would make them feel singled out, and they could be made fun of. Regardless of whether there's a way for it to work or not, there is Separation Of Church And State. There should be nothing in schools having to do with religion. Personally, I even have a problem with having to say the Pledge Of Allegiance.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

I wonder if you realize that this idiot who has 14 points at the top says that prayers shouldn't be allowed in church. -__- " You sir are sad & don't come crying when not only you're schools but you country is plague by the mere withdrawal of God's hand. That is all.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

I think they shouldn't because everyone has a different religion and you can't led a prayer for every religion in the school.
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

NO, what's wrong with you no one's going to agree on what it should be!
Debate: Should School Prayer Be Allowed In Schools?
Side: NO

I am a Christian but I don't think that there should be prayer in school because There would be students to feel uncomfortable because they don't pray and there will be conflict with all of the different religions. I also think that if prayer was in the schools then anybody no matter the religion should be able to pray too just as well as Christians would pray. so just to keep down conflict with religion, I don't think prayer should be in schools. There's a difference in praying in school and you praying for your child in school.

Debate: Should school teachers have to wear school uniform?
Side: ummm...what?

Almost nothing about real life is fair. That is one thing that kids need to learn!! The sooner you learn it, the better. I did not spend years in college and thousands of dollars to earn my degree and teaching credentials so that I would have to wear a uniform because some snot-nosed kids who can't pull their pants up and/or cover up their cleavage don't think its "fair". I KNOW how to dress properly for my job, and I do. Furthermore, we DO have a dress code.
Debate: Should school teachers have to wear school uniform?
Side: !!!YEAH!!!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the world, children are starving.As for things being fair or unfair, who are you that you deserve fairness? Or any consideration at all? The world is a horrible place, and the sooner you learn that the better off you'll be.

Debate: Should school teachers have to wear school uniform?
Side: !!!YEAH!!!

I think they should because when i asked one they said that "they worked there and got paid so they didn't have to" then I thought to myself "hmm i work here don't i and i don't even get paid(I'm a student)" then i thought since i work here and i didn't get paid and I have to wear uniform then they should also have to wear uniform. Thats why i think teachers should have to wear uniform.

Debate: Should school teachers have to wear school uniform?
