My reasons are: From the discussion in netnews we can see that God (Yahweh) is not a good candidate for school children prayers. We have one group claiming that God is a hideous monster not worthy of worship. There is another group who claims that God is good but unfortunately we cannot understand his actions. Well, if we cannot understand God then he most likely will not be able to understand school children prayers. This would make our children effort an exercise in futility. On the other hand, Zeus seems to be a nice guy/god (maybe a bit lusty) worthy of our school children prayers. -- Yosi Hoshen Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois (312)-979-7321 Mail: ihnp4!ihuxn!jho
