Mike Malloy talks to George from Bartlesville OK. (Prayer In Schools)

Mike was talking about Lowe's pulling it's advertisement from TLC. Then he took a call from George from Bartlesville, Oklahoma to discuss his views on school prayer. Transcribed for your protection.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:5-6 KJV

here's something I don't get. in order to be "persecuted", you have to be the minority of something. how can "Christians" be persecuted (or feel persecuted) when over 80% of Americans identify themselves as Christian?

Mike Malloy proves once again why he's one of the smartest guys on radio, and I don't blame him a bit for getting frustrated at 'Christian' morons who claim they are being 'discriminated' against...hell these religious assholes are ALWAYS trying to shove their delusional beliefs about imaginary sky beings down our throats and then they have the nerve to say THEY are the ones being 'persecuted'...fuck 'em all

@D1yanaH hmmm, I wonder sometimes why morons like you make such ignorant comments when it's obvious you don't have a clue what you're talking about..Mike Malloy is probably about a thousand times smarter than you'll ever hope to be, idiot

[gamesmaster35]

I think Malloy explained this all wrong.A kid is free to pray in school to Jesus, to Allah, to who or whatever they want to pray to.What has been discontinued is a formal prayer led by a school official like your principal, or the teacher in your first period class.Your child if they choose to do so can pray and can even organize others to pray as well.Don't blame liberals because you're not taking the initiative to do it yourself.

excuse me Mike, but you take history in school, so you learn about religions, did you ever go to school? mmm i wonder sometime.

@lordrectumslasher

Ive researched and soul-searched for 22 years and the outcome of this long trek is that there is, indeed, a Creator and we do, indeed, continue to exist after our bodies give way. I think were here to make a decision...about love and life...real life. I believe there is something great at stake. Ive chosen love and life by choosing to believe in Christ. I wish life for you too. Thats my Christianity in a nutshell. A choice is before you...water or fire.

@SeaWolfe59 I was just referring to public schools, if it's a private school, that should certainly be their right.

[lordrectumslasher]

@SeaWolfe59 I believe the evidance points to an extinction of our conscience. I don't hate religious people, just the extremists, which I don't think you are after talking with you, so please, forgive my bad attitude earlier. I can sometimes be too quick to judge. I think you're the type that doesn't believe in the government and religion getting intertwined, so you're alright!

I try and use empathy and compassion as my moral compass.
