Paul Harvey
>>
>>YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM! HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!!
>>
>>Paul Harvey says: "I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going
>>to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.
>>
>>I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer
>>when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution.
>>
>>Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not
>>be endangered because someone says a 30-second
>>prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal?
>>It's not like somebody is up there reading
>>the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God
>>they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players
>>on the field and the fans going home from the game.
>>"But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and this is
>>the United States of America, a country founded on Christian
>>principles. According to our very own phone book,
>>Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1.
>>So what would you expect-somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
>>If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to
>>hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
>>I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went to a
>>ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray
>>to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother
>>me one bit. When in Rome... "But what about the atheists?"
>>is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking
>>them to be baptized.. We're not going to pass the collection
>>plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds.. If that's asking
>>too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the
>>bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer.
>>Unfortunately, one or two will make that call.
>>
>>One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
>>I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to
>>shake the world's foundations.
>>
>>Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other
>>cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.
>>Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
>>eating, to pray before we go to sleep.
>>Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful
>>of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
>>God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you,
>>well..........just sue me. The silent majority has been silent
>>too long.. it's time we let that one or two who scream
>>loud enough to be heard, that the vast majority don't care
>>what they want.. it is time the majority rules! It's time
>>we tell them, you don't have to pray.. you don't have to say
>>the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or
>>attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and
>>we will honor your right....but by golly, you are no longer
>>going to take our rights away. We are fighting back....and we
>>WILL WIN! God bless us one and all, especially those
>>who denounce Him... God bless America, despite all her faults,
>>she is still the greatest nation of all.....
>>
>>God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right
>>to pray and worship God... May 2005 be the year the silent
>>majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our
>>families and institutions. Keep looking up...... In God WE Trust.
