"and if you think it's not just Christians, wellquestionmarks,..." Listen, prayer is an issue all across the U.S.! You got islamic prayers being played in towns like Dearborn, MI. You got people at my job going outside to pray on carpets to Allah. You got the Senate floor opening up with prayer. You have a national day of prayer. And then, I have to sit and be subject to ignorance of your views against prayer. It just seems like your views are being shoved down my throat more than my views are being shoved down yours. In the future their will be no prayer in Dearborn, no carpets on the job, no prayer in the Senate, and a fine for praying in public. Is that freedom??? Well??? I don't think so. The fact is that Civil Liberties are only addressed in the what the society feels is the norm. If their was a Christian parade, I wonder how many of you would be writing to ban that? Or what about a Christian rights movement so that Jesus can be said on non-Christian networks again??? If I had a tv show, I couldn't even say Jesus on it according to network rules...why is that??? The truth is that the rights of freedom of speech for Christians are being taken away. Instead of leveling the field, we are taking one rights to give to others. It's not right!!!

You know I played a lot of football over the years and before every game we would pray, not for a win, but that we would not get injured and would just play well. If someone didn't believe in God, just the thought of "I can actually get killed out on this field" changed their mind to "Well???...go ahead and pray--it just might keep my leg from getting broke tonight. Also, for those who are thinking that the prayer was Christian based, Christ name was never mentioned only God (which only excludes an atheist). Now that I think about: We didn't have guy's getting seriously injured....probably was the prayer!

Michael Irvin Arrested
The craziest thing about this forum is that it seems people have sympathy for drugs (not just the user). Man, "it matters what drug their on" is a bunch of crap. If someone was prescribed vicotin for pain, but decided to take four pills instead of one and was driving on the road----they are considered dangerous due to their impairment. I do not have the desire to drive my family anywhere near someone driving under the influence, even though it happens unknowingly on a daily bases. I don't know if Mike is telling the truth or not, but this will definetly have it's consequences!
