I haven't written in a very long time , I usually write to get anger out. Today I want to write about something that I have been avoiding for too long. Religion . I grew up in a wonderful church , well actually two of them. As a by young child my family attended Garland Road Church of Christ and in my young adult life we attended Lake Highlands Church of  Christ. I all I have fantastic memories of both churches and really don't think there were any two churches that would have been better places to learn. As I grew up I strayed from the church and my life as a result became very hard to manage and soon become impossible to control at all. My point in saying this is that whether you believe or not the environment of church when you are in a good one, is a good nurturing one. That environment promotes a loving caring life and puts you on a good path, one I try to live today. Now are all churches that way ? No , they aren't and it is a shame that what I call "fake churches" are allowed to even exist at all. I have been to several of them and believe that going to those churches was in a small way responsible for my straying from the path I had always been taught.  I guess that is why it puzzles me so when I hear the vitriol and hatred spewed around the world about having God in schools or at least having a theme of religion in schools even if it is a non denominational one. What is so wrong with God? What is it that makes people so angry about people wanting to pray to him? 95% of the world believes in God but the 5% that don't get to make the rules because it isn't fair. I truly believe that this is a major reason that this country is in a downward spiral right now, not that we don't all pray but that we teach our children to whine and cry to get their way every time they don't like the outcome. If 1000 people are in a room and 950 want to pray should they not because 50 don't? Or should they say we are going to pray and you can choose not to? Why is it always the minority that gets to push their views on the rest of us and not the other way around. A democracy is set up for the majority to vote on what they want and everyone to go by the rights of the many not the feelings of the few. I for one am tired of watching the rights of the many occupied by the feeling of the few. I want my kids to have what I did not be forced into not having it because someone got their feelings hurt or felt uncomfortable because they were in the minority.
