    Establishing a more visible role for Christianity in public schools, including more prayer led by both teachers and students.

    I hate these people just so very much. They aren’t just happy with keeping their stuff in their houses of worship and their homes and inflicting it on their own children; they want everyone else to join in on their little book club, with the power of the State enforcing this.

    Fuck them. This is a secular nation - not one mention of the character of Jesus in the Constitution.

        Treat of Tripoli, yes?

        I understand what they were doing there when it comes to diplomacy and pointing out the facts about our country’s founding, but I do wonder if they knew about the “People of the Book” thing within Islam.
