...just go about your business. Nobody is forcing ANYONE to covert to or profess belief in any relgion. The National Day of Prayer recognizes the roll faith has played in building our strength as a culture.

Let's be clear, those in the Freedom from Religion are free from religion. If they believe their "right" includes being totally insolated from other peoples' expression of belief, they've got another thing coming to them. People of faith, like it or not, have to put up with their constant whining and insults.

While this writer does not share Rev. Franklin Graham's doctine of faith, Graham deserves tremendous respect for putting his faith into action tending to the needy and left behind around the world even attempting to open doors to North Korea. His comments about Islam, though stated from the conviction of his religious beliefs, do resound with strong truths. Just as we just discussed with immigration, people have a sad tendency of talking with passionate conviction without ever bothering to read what's at stake. One cannot read The Koran without realizing that the Muslim religion is founded on some vicious and cruel notions and sanctions bigotry and sexism.

While we're not going to attempt to argue from a Christian pulpit, we will note The Bible talks of false prophets, and surely when one considers that concept vis-a-vis the writings in The Koran, that notion is driven home clearly. Mohammed should be seen as one of the villains of world history not in the light of Jesus, Buddha, or Moses.

Anything that makes today's "me" driven culture pause and help individuals understand there are wonderful powers far greater than the individual is a good thing.
