Especially in the schools so the younger generation can hear the truth. Our founding fathers did not expect us to take God out of everything in this country by saying separation of God and state. They had God in all their meetings. Thanks for the article and schools in the small town we live are letting God back in. Keep Praying.</p> I agree we need all of God we can get in the country.

Unfortunately, a small group has taken ownership of the Bible and the knee-jerk reaction against their radicalism is fierce. Personally, I'd like to see churches teach Marx, Rawls, and Mill. Seperation isn't just about keeping church out of state, but state out of church. Do any of us really want the government in our religion?

I felt truly sorry for my classmates; it was as if they were reading literature with only 1/3 of the symbolic dictionary. You and I both believe in the power of the Word to bring about an encounter with God. It accomplishes what God desires, even when distributed unworthily. Thus, I also hope to see the unofficial ban on the Bible overturned.
