See what I mean about liberals? Should my children have to leave the school
grounds to pray over their food? Richard, your position is so blatantly
biased and unreasonable that I am amazed you can't see it yourself.
Comparing praying over one's food to playing football, as if they were
equally distracting! What a pitiful example. FYI there are a number of
churches who have baseball and softball teams. Probably some who have
football teams too. They just don't practice inside the sanctuary. :-)

In spite of your doubts, there are cases in court over this very issue. :-)
