That was then.....
Now the issue is not what they preach or teach, but where, and to whom. If someone tries to insert preaching & teaching in public schools, we have a problem. A sincere belief in God ought to include the idea that God can hear silent, personal prayers. Those who demand the 'right' to pray aloud when many have different beliefs are mistaking what 'freedom of religion' is about.
   You say "that does not mean attacking abortionists ", but it does mean that to some. As to nurses, they usually don't take jobs that would compromise their beliefs. In many ways, that is how it should be handled. **Be aware of what the job entails and don't set yourself up for a conflict.**
When "the system" says merely that religion is permitted, but should be a private matter among people who all think the same way, that is NOT 'suppressing' religion.


Now... off to 4-5 days at a crafts show.
