"...the sign of the times. Johnny can't read or do math, but Mom and Dad complain to the school because Johnny was sitting beside someone at lunch that prayed to their God...."

This extract from a post above pretty much reflects how far too many of the current generation and others think these days.

We are swamped by the notion of not offending anyone about anything by or for anybody. We have lost or at a minimum set aside the concept of right and wrong in exchange for acknowledging isolated incidences and minority reports and penalizing the majority to appease the few.

The usual isolated incidences of yesteryear would have been acknowledged and the life and belief of others would not have been changed. Today isolated incidences become headline news and are promoted by a legal system that attempts to change the lives of the many for the sake of one.

Hence a story like the child not being allowed to pray is all too often more likely to be true than not.

I am a proponent of right or wrong which far too much of the current permissive thinking does not subscribe to or accept.
