WITHOUT PRAYER





On this day, March 15, 1984, the US Senate voted down voluntary silent prayer in public schools.



President Ronald Reagan responded: "I am deeply disappointed that, although a majority of the Senate voted for it, the school prayer amendment fell short." President Reagan later remarked: "In 1962, the Supreme Court...banned the...saying of prayers. In 1963, the Court banned the reading of the Bible in our public schools,...a series of assaults were made in one court after another.... Without God there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscience...without God democracy will not and cannot long endure."



Amen to that. A wonderful considered quote from the great communicator.
