The Limitation of Judeo-Christian Beliefs
by Liberal Interpretations of the Law
In the interests of preserving the civil rights of all Americans, legislation over the past few decades has mandated a conspicuous absence of Christian or Jewish symbols, prayers or teachings from public places: the classroom, the sports arena, the courts, public buildings of all sorts. Yet followers of these faiths make up the majority of Americans. In the wake of the tragedy of September 11, and the previous shocking incidences of student violence at Columbine and other schools, Americans feel the need for increased, rather than decreased, emphasis on religion in the classroom and everywhere their children go. What can be done to protect the rights of these citizens to observe the dictates of their beliefs in their daily walk of life outside of their homes and places of worship?

The Limitation of Judeo-Christian Beliefs
by Liberal Interpretations of the Law
After the shocking incidence of student violence at Columbine High School and other subsequent events, a great number of American parents wondered if the abolition of religious instruction and observance in our schools helped to bring about such misguided behavior. Gone were the days when students began the school day with the Lord's Prayer, for example; the Ten Commandments were no longer displayed in the hallways or classrooms. With the best of liberal intentions (the desire to avoid making children of religions other than Christianity or Judaism feel excluded), America had legislated the teachings of the Bible out of the public education system. In retrospect, was America reaping a dreadful harvest, as her children demonstrated moral vacuity?
The Religious Freedom Amendment introduced by Rep. Ernest Istook (Republican, Oklahoma) brought the debate front and center over whether the church has a role in the public realm of such places as the schools, sports and the courts. If passed, this amendment would have superceded the Supreme Court ruling on such issues as public school prayer,...
God and Creation Has the concept of God well and truly woven itself into the very psyche of the average American citizen? What exactly does the average American think about God? As a matter of fact, each and every American must take some time to sit back and think deeply about these issues, and also pay close attention to the power and influence of God in the history of America. Perhaps
God's Activity In Men's Lives God's Active Role How many people look for God's activity in their lives, and never come up with the evidence? Yet, in the lives of Mary Rowlandson, and Ben Franklin, they recognized the working of The Almighty in their every day circumstances. Maybe it was that they didn't look for God to prove himself to them, but they acknowledged that the Almighty God is always at work.

This intervention by U.S. In a foreign country, in literal words, changed the course of history for the whole world and still its outcomes are yet, to be decided. The attack on U.S. By Al-Qaeda, on 11th September, 1998, changed the course of American paradigm of Muslims and gave a strong cause for George Bush's "War against Terrorism." Where thousands of American citizens died in Twin Towers, so did the
Important in attempts to ban Bless Me, Ultima, are arguments that the book promotes witchcraft and worship of the devil. The book focuses on Ultima, a curandera, who works with herbs and can heal the sick and exorcise evil. However, it is clear throughout Bless Me, Ultima that the character of Ultima is a force of good, but that she is sometimes mislabeled as a witch. Thus, while witchcraft is
" Owen maintains that it is not important that people engage in the particular actions Jesus engaged in, like washing another's feet, but instead that people strive to express their moral duty of brotherly love, in condescension and mutual helpfulness. The fourteenth question posed by Owen is, "May not the church find out, and appoint to be observed, such religious rites as being adjoined unto the celebration of God's instituted worship,
