Exploitation

This sort of stupidity is bothersome on so many levels. It's mind-boggling to suggest that God isn't "allowed" in schools in the US. Incidentally, since when did Taber, AB become part of the US? Most US schools recite the pledge of allegiance (at least the ones in upstate New York) every morning - complete with the "under God" bit. Even if they didn't I'm not sure how this means that God isn't "allowed" in school. Surely believers of a variety of faiths do not drop their beliefs at the door.

There is a very wide gulf between proselytizing for religion or even granting it some kind of state recognition and not allowing it. As a believer I'm offended by suggestions that God is so weak or indifferent that Madalyn Murray O'Hair or even the US Supreme Court is enough to frighten God away.

The people who put out this garbage believe in a very weak and foolish god.
