    Many people have bad things to say about Donald Trump but I have something good to say. Trump says if he wins, he can get prayer brought back in schools. Children should pray in schools. If they're taught to pray, they might grow up to be Christians and if they carry God in their hearts, it will make them better citizens and better leaders.

    So many of today's people are non-religious. They believe that God is fictional and they and many other people don't take their children to churches or go to churches themselves. If children aren't taught anything about God, they'll grow up to believe that he is fictional as well. I'm worried that religion may eventually become a thing of the past. But if children are taught to pray, they may grow to worship God and if they do, God will bless them.

    I have nine words for every Hillary supporter who says that Trump lied. HILLARY LIES TO PEOPLE AND IT HAS BEEN PROVEN. It's unfair of people to point out Trump's lies and ignore Hillary's lies. I can't be 100% sure if Trump is being honest about bringing prayer back to schools. I can't be 100% positive that it's not a lie but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm also willing to admit that Trump has some big flaws but so does Hillary. I'm against Hillary and I was also against Trump. But when he said that he can bring prayer back to schools, I decided to give him a chance because prayer and religion are important to me.

    Randy,

    I respect your right to believe in the positives of Christian values, and the idea that prayer and religion are important to you.

    But I have to question you when you say ... "If they're taught to pray, they might grow up to be Christians and if they carry God in their hearts, it will make them better citizens and better leaders."

    Why should Jewish, or Muslim or any other religious sect be subjected to praying so they might grow up to be Christians??? 

    Is christianity a better religion than the others?

    Also, if a person is an atheist, does that make them less of a good citizen, or less of a leader?

    Again, I respect your beliefs, but I respect no one who tries to force their beliefs on others

    If this world wants to have a slight chance of moving forward we have to get rid of all religion, it's toxic and nothing but a cancer to society.

    "The revised version of the 10 Commandments

    1.)  Thou shall be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

    2.) Thou shall try real hard not to kill anyone; unless they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to.

    Two Commandments is all you need; Moses could have carried it down the hill in his phuckin pocket.  And if it was up to me, I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama put them up on the courthouse wall.  Just as long as they include 1 additional Commandment:

    THOU SHALL KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF!"

    Well said by Mr. Carlin.

    Nice citation, Slobbasaurus.

    1.)  Thou shall be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.

    2.) Thou shall try real hard not to kill anyone; unless they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to.

    Two Commandments is all you need; Moses could have carried it down the hill in his phuckin pocket.  And if it was up to me, I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama put them up on the courthouse wall.  Just as long as they include 1 additional Commandment:

    THOU SHALL KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF!"

    -George Carlin
    Well said by Mr. Carlin.

    Nice citation, Slobbasaurus.
