Prayers held at government meeting across the country have
been going on for decades if not centuries here in the United States and thanks
to the Supreme Court it will continue to happen. A religious favoritism case
took place earlier in May and has been a debate for quite some time. The court
justices made the right decision and helped protect our rights as citizens to
practice our own religion whenever we please here in the United States of
America.
The
United States was founded because of religion and it is stated under the first amendment
that any person can practice their own religion without being persecuted by the
government. This court case made me sick when I first heard that this was even
going to be presented. A Jewish lady complained that a Christian prayer was
being presented at a town meeting and brought up a lawsuit. But this shouldn’t have
even been brought before any judge let alone the Supreme Court. If a Jewish
prayer would have been said and a Christian would have complained the entire
nation would have judged the Christian for trying to limit their rights. But if
a Christian tries to show their own freedom they are seen as hypocritical and are
tried for saying such things. This entire situation is a joke and shouldn’t even
be discussed anywhere let alone the United States of America.
Any
person can show off their religion wherever and whenever they want. It doesn’t matter
if you’re Christian, Muslim, or Jewish you can practice your own religion
without any judgment. That is what’s wrong with today’s society. Everybody
takes everything personally and doesn’t take into account that they could be in
the exact same situation. You don’t see Christians trying to persecute atheists
for not believing in God and they shouldn’t because it is the person’s right to
believe in whatever they want. But if Christians are leaving them alone then
atheists should also keep their mouths shut.
