Reply to Amirillo Sky: Nudity is always appropriate in the presence of God (If indeed as you folks believe he made us aswe naturally are.) It would even be an insult to say "Hey God, I know you made us naked but your artwork is obscene, indecent, so we're going to have to cover it up even while we stand before you in prayer."
How preposterous and dishonest can you get? Do you think an "all knowing God" cannot see right thru you--even if you hide in sheep's wool or cotton?
IF prayer is talking to God, Nudity is the honest decent thing. If you are just putting on a show for other humans then covering up may fool them into thinking you look better than you do. That's what's wrong with "Public prayer, IT IS NOT TALKING TO GOD BUT PUTTING ON A SHOW TO FOOL OTHERS INTO THINKING HOW GOOD YOU ARE. Jesus said "Hide in the closet to pray." (Matthew 6: 5, 6). That means focus on God, not be distracted with anything else--if you really want to communicate with "God".
Public prayer at government meetings is also unconstitutional violating the rights of non-Judeo-Christians by forcing them to hear your evangelizing when you would not want to hear theirs--denies them "equal treatment" and "establishes" your religion over others. It creates prejudice that forms a "religious test" for public office--that no one (or few) can get elected if they are not liars pretending to be Judeo-Christian.
The Declaration of Independence defines "decency" as having a "decent respect for the opinions of others"--something Judeo-Christians do not have. That would include the opinions of others as to religion and their right to worship or not as they please not have someone else's religion forced on them at government meetings.

The VA is still not doing what it should for that good man--and other veterans needing help. We should not send them off to get injured and killed if we will not help the injured.

The V.A. has still not come to the aid of that Vet in need.

Any vet that I have met worth his salt will tell you that no one OWES him anything. They do what they do to serve something greater than they are and expect nothing in return. Anything that may be received in payment or compensation in whatever form, other than the agreed upon compensation at the beginning of the contract, is gratefully accepted but not mandatory. If it was a breach of contract, then that is a different story, but unless that is the case, then the point is mute.

We can bail out Wallstreet with millions in bonuses for CEO's but sacrifice our Vets?
So they are good enough to give their all--but should we not show some gratitude to our most deserving?

I am sorry that I do not have as much time to help the Veterans on this link as I would like right now, but if I can get justice in my court case as shown on the SPLOST thread, a more honest government will allow us all more time and other resources for the needy. Thanks.

I feel bad that I have been so busy with my law suit that I am not doing more to help that disable vet who is not getting real help from the V.A. They act like he can just suffer and go on.

While thinking about "traitors", I can't help but wonder how it was possible that in this country--and in Rome, Ga., back in the 1970's-- I would have been arrested several times, and sentenced to jail, fines, and banishment, for parading an AMERICAN flag and wearing a sign that said:
"MAY THIS FLAG NEVER
MAY CHRIST'S KINGDOM NEVER COME--
AMERICA- NOT ISRAEL, BUT THIS DUST THAT I AM--MY HOLY LAND!"
I do not have the money or time to do that again, but I still can not help wondering: How messed up can citizens be--or our officials at least be--and us continue as a nation? Punished for parading an American flag and putting our own nation first??????????

Again, America--not Israel--is my Holy Land--this dust that I am.

Is this the end for us--
that we can not even parade our own flag on our own streets?
Because others here prefer Israel--
and with China too beginning to beat us in trade.
It is not the end of the world
but is it the end for us?
