I figure if 90 percent (or whatever that very large figure is) of the world's population believes in a form of high power, somewhere in there whether it be God, Buddha, Allah (which is God anyway), etc. maybe they've got something in that there is simply *something* that is there.<BR/><BR/>I also do think the ACLU can go overboard some times, but without them our nation would definitely be worse off.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952190731310458414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11284353.post-1118331370479811972005-06-09T08:36:00.000-07:002005-06-09T08:36:00.000-07:00Thanks, Sam for the other side. Because the author...Thanks, Sam for the other side. Because the author, from what I got, was talking about how the Chaplins weren't suppose to talk about God unless it was in private with the soldier. So thanks for a clarification. <BR/>But I still think that ACLU, goes over board on the other side. There should be a happy medium. <BR/>And I am from R.I. which was founded by Roger Williams as he couldn't take the Purtians views anymore. R.I. is base on multi-religions. The first synagogue in the US is in Newport, R.I. So it would be nice if we all tolerate each other and their religions.<BR/><BR/>Amy,<BR/>I agree. For over 30 years, I didn't go to church because so many of them were ..well, they were concern about each other instead of the bible. I drove my kids nuts with my, I am with God in my yard with trees, sky and grass, as much as they were in their churches. But I have found a small church that I like the people and the minister. And of course the main thing is that you believe..<BR/>Thanks for your commentsWord Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11284353.post-1118283298303042362005-06-08T19:14:00.000-07:002005-06-08T19:14:00.000-07:00Cis, it's another sad day when we try to take God ...Cis, it's another sad day when we try to take God out of it all. Even though I do not believe in religions I do believe in God and I just think it's sad. <BR/><BR/>Sam, it's also not right though to push our beliefs and ideas on others, so I do see your point as well. It's the very reason I do not believe in religion. To me there is a difference between spirituality/faith and religion.Untangled Family Rootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662341843360451072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11284353.post-1118274194105013852005-06-08T16:43:00.000-07:002005-06-08T16:43:00.000-07:00I guess, Cis, some people might look at the ACLU n...I guess, Cis, some people might look at the ACLU not as "infringing" on others rights, but making sure that people don't force their beliefs on others.<BR/><BR/>I believe the incident at the Virginia Military Institute was that the Christian population there had been harrassing the Jewish students and making derogatory comments.<BR/><BR/>It was there or at some other military college/university. The military did an investigation and THEY banned the commander of the school from making any announcements without getting approval, first, because he was also making forceful and derogatory comments.<BR/><BR/>I think we should remember that this country is supposed to be about acceptance, yet rarely are people ever accepted (Even those crazy puritans who left England because they were even too conservative for the English and wanted "religous freedom" here in America judged people for their believes. What a great place!)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952190731310458414noreply@blogger.com
