Yes Hal, we don't need to see "God" in our political papers, but the foundation of our country had God in it. Which means our legal system was founded with the 10 commandments in mind. That's why they're in so many court rooms.
As our country moves toward secularism, there are many who are happy, but many who are not. Both sides have their own arguments - it is incumbent upon us as Americans to dive into this debate and suss it out. Or rather, vote it out.
You may believe that religion isn't valid; that's a "valid" position to hold. However, there are many others who believe it is relevant, and their position is also valid. If you want others to respect your position, you must also agree to accept there is an opposite opinion.
For Paq - There is no difference in Falwell and Robertson wanting their "pick" for the supreme court (and therefore praying for it) and the NOW and ACLU wanting their pick for the supreme court (and maybe wishing for it?). Both groups want their pick on the court, and have their right to pray for it/or wish for it.
Oh, BTW - I was totally appalled by Pat Robertson's call for Hugo Chavez to be assassinated! That is something a religious leader should not ever do, call for the death of another world leader, in today's age, or in any other age. Scripture says that this is in the hands of God. For Pat Robertson to call for an assassination is pure crap.
