Why does it have to be Christian? I regard Christianity as pagan and much worse than materialism and secularism - and I certainly do NOT advocate the latter. Why must you IMPOSE your Christianity on Jews? This is where Constantine, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and Hitler got their start. You have advocated prayer in schools as a part of the same philo- sophy. You would have Jewish children forced to sit in class and listen to prayers in the name of your god - which is slanderous and blasphemous to us. That is not freedom. Why do you equate freedom for YOUR religion with freedom generally? That is precisely what the founding fathers fled when they came here.
