Andy Rooney and Prayer

Andy Rooney and  Prayer

by Andy Rooney

Andy Rooney says:
I don’t believe in Santa Claus, but I’m not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.
I don’t agree with Darwin, but I didn’t go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered in any way because  someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.
So what’s the big deal?
It’s not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They’re just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home  from the game.
But it’s a Christian prayer, some will argue.
Yes, and this is  the United States of America, and Canada, countries founded on Christian  principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches  outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect  — somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping-pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn’t be offended. It wouldn’t bother me one bit.
When in Rome…..
But what about the atheists? Is that another argument.
What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We’re not  going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that’s asking too much, bring a Walkman <<Image.jpg>> or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the  concession stand. Call your lawyer! Or,  just exercise their right to leave this country!
Unfortunately, one or two will call their lawyer. One or two will tell thousands what it <<Image.jpg>> hey can and cannot do. I don’t think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world’s foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our  rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
‘God help us’. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.
The silent majority has been silent too long. It’s time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn’t care what they want!
It is time that the majority rules!
It’s time we tell them, “You don’t have to pray; you don’t have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don’t have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away.  We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!”
God bless us one and all…Especially those who denounce Him, God bless America and Canada, despite all our faults, we are still the greatest nations of all. God bless our service men who are  fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

Let’s make 2010 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions. And our military forces come home from all the wars.
Keep looking  up.

That is one reason why this world is in the mess we’re  in now.  THE SILENT MAJORITY JUST SITS BACK AND LETS IT HAPPEN!!!

Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And America it is time for us to BLESS GOD again…

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
