Wish I'd Said
This: Way to Go, Paul Harvey

> Paul Harvey says, "I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going
>
> to sue somebody for singing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town."
>
> 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 2006 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back
>as the foundation of our families and institutions.
