This is funny
More from alt.atheism. The stuff in italics is the original poster's poem.
>The New School Prayer
>
>Now I sit me down in school
>Where praying is against the rule
Now you sit and tell a lie
I wonder if it makes God cry
For praying isn't banned in schools:
It's *school-led* prayer that breaks the rules
>For this great nation under God
>Finds mention of Him very odd.
>If Scripture now the class recites,
>It violates the Bill of Rights.
>And anytime my head I bow
>Becomes a Federal matter now.
It's stuff like this that makes me groan:
"The scripture that you mean's your own!"
I somehow doubt you'd feel the same
For scripture praising Krishna's name!
>Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
>That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
Here you're correct, you speak as you ought:
"Judge not by appearance" is what Christ taught!
>The law is specific, the law is precise.
>Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
Your lies are a pity, your lies are a shame
Moreso that you're lying in Jesus's name!
>For praying in a public hall
>Might offend someone with no faith at all.
>In silence alone we must meditate,
>God's name is prohibited by the state.
There's only one thing that I can say:
"Where did Jesus instruct you to pray?"
If the scriptures you wish to mind,
It wasn't in public, you soon will find
It's really ironic you praise his name,
But ignore his teachings just the same!
