I’m with you DeltaDog. I remember the uneasy feeling in public grade school during the morning’s Lord’s Prayer when I stopped at “.... and deliver us from evil”. My mother told me to just be silent at the end of the prayer. I felt different. I was the only one in the class that did not say the whole prayer.
I also remember a county school employee (bus driver) telling me that I was not “saved” because I was Catholic. I was nine years old. My skills at argumentation and debate were not quite as well-honed at that time. I’ll never forget it.
True stories. Until you have walked that mile it might be hard to understand. Prayer in public schools is illegal. You can debate until the cows come home. It's the law.
