This is my first diary. Ordinarily I am content to read, and occasionally comment on, what the brilliant diarists here on DK already provide. But I was in East TN for work last week and when a woman working at a Subway in Seiverville, TN presented me with the card pictured above I was stunned. I know TN is bible belt central. I know churches and rebel flags are found in abundance at every turn...but this was just too far in my opinion.
Now these people know that it is not illegal for children to pray in school. So what they are trying to accomplish is to get FORCED PARTICIPATION in Christian prayer back in school. These people would be outraged if any other religion were making this push, but because we are a "Christian nation" they see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
I don't think any further elaboration on my part is required as y'all are a smart bunch here and you know how wrong this is. I am not telling anyone here what to do of course, but I will say that I called the number & left them a 2 1/2 minute piece of my atheist mind on their answering machine. Back to the past indeed....
