In response to "Would prayer in school resolve the lacking morality today?" from the Questions to the
General Public page, I propose: NO.
Prayer would solve nothing for our morality. We pray all the time. Americans pray at dinner, in the
morning, at night, during tests, at church. Still, it does no good. Why not? The majority of people have no faith.
But we all go to church and are good Christians!
Sure. You got religion, but do you have faith? No. The prayer comes out, the whiskey goes in. We think
about God once a week. Twice if s/he's lucky. Oh, sorry. I can't say the "She" or "Goddess" can I? We're a Christian nation.
Built on love, trust, respect, backstabbing, lying, cheating, embezzling, and Goddess knows what else. Even the Christian
Bible says, in Isaiah 7:9 "....if you do not stand firm in your FAITH, you will not stand at all" (emphasis mine.) Notice
the word "faith" is in no way spelled like "religion." You go to church and pray, but your faith is weak, therefore, your
prayer has no power. If it has no power, then it will not be effective, therefore it will not change anything. So, prayer
in schools will not solve anything.
We'd just get detention for talking in class.
