Supreme Court rulings do not define what is truly right or wrong or reality itself. When they depart from Bibical justice all that is reflected is their own bias and predisposition. It is here where the justices have discarded Biblical wisdom and common sense. The fallout is obvious nationwide in the downward spiral of our schools and society since the removal of prayer, the 10 Commandments from schools and other public arenas. The "freedom" we allegedly gain from this exclusion is actually freedom from religion, not freedom of religion. Having these things in the public spaces, schools, etc., does NOT imply government endorsement or mandate. The only mandate is the freedom OF genuinely open and benevolent expression of faith as guaranteed by the Constitution whether it is in a private residence or the public square that is to be accessable to ALL without restriction. This NOT a threat to the freedom or respect of other religions as they are to have this same protection from government or PAC exclusionary litigation. The ONLY thing government would be endorsing is the freedom and access for public expression, not a given religion itself because access would be available to ALL. THAT is the fullest form of freedom of religion. The Supreme Court disagress and has made this illegal. Freedom of religion and their restrictions are mutually exclusive. However, elements of Islam are being taught in some public educational systems. There are even Islamic public schools being operated with tax dollars while the Bible, prayer, intelligent design, and the 10 Commandments are forbidden in all public schools. What message does that send? Common sense, anyone? Christians dominating by excluding others in the public spaces and judging others for not being persons of faith indeed would be wrong and is NOT my intent or that of the Constitution. Groups are made of individuals. If groups do not have First Amendment protection, neither do individuals in them.
