h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

How very broad minded of you to pick on the Christian religion. As if it is the only relegion that has a history of using violence to persuade people to join in their ranks. If you are a true student of relegion you would know this to be untrue. The history of almost every relegion has such stories. As far as prayer in school, I don't believe that Christians are asserting that all children be forced into praying to "their" God. Prayer, meditation, whatever you want to call it should be allowed in schools. Prayer to whomever you should choose. I feel that if a student wants to pray he or she should be able to do just that. By denying our children that simple act, we are denying them freedom of speech.
