Many eyebrows were raised when it was revealed that Nancy Reagan employed an astrologer. Clearly, misguided religious beliefs are behind the constant barrage of abortion clinic bombings, and that bombing of a gay bar in Atlanta. And millions more have been wasted paying psychics who claim to be able to help the police solve crimes. If religious organizations were required to pay taxes like every other business, the financial burden on the rest of us would be reduced dramatically. Worse, the believers not only want taxpayers to finance their teachings in the form of tax credits and private school subsidies, but now they also want public school teachers assigned to teach in those schools.
Public opinion changes slowly, but it can change.
If you or I can make even one person stop and consider the illogic in something they have always just accepted, perhaps that person will in turn influence someone else. I urge you to do all that you can to help turn the tide. Only you can control your success and happiness. Work hard and be a good person for its own value, not from fear of an imaginary god. The prayer is published in the ad and others are encouraged to use it.
