August 26, 201115 yr Author For the record here is what was said: Not, "It doesn't apply to elections nor should it." So when I vote for the Governor, my vote dont count. I cant believe the candidate with the most votes may not win. Wow when Beshear gets 50,000 votes and Williams gets 10,000 votes, Williams may still be Gov. Wow imaging 10,000 meaning more than the other 40,000.

August 26, 201115 yr Author well it was about majority rule meaning nothing and then saying it doesnt apply to elections. So which is it, does the majority count or not.
August 26, 201115 yr well it was about majority rule meaning nothing and then saying it doesnt apply to elections. So which is it, does the majority count or not. He never said it didn't apply to elections. He said that Clyde said majority rule doesn't and shouldn't apply to laws.
August 26, 201115 yr A quote I wish originated with me: "Majority opinion sometimes means you have a lot of fools in one place."
August 26, 201115 yr Do you really think that before the game they would vote on this Prayer situation? Guess I should have used a cartoon,, my bad. To the poster who wanted verses "Former" I believe it was, I already gave some, but I don't think praying for football injuries is in the Bible, but we have to give Jesus credit, here is a very good one Isaiah 55:8:9 Matthew 7:8:9 ask and it will be given. Believe and you will recieve Matthew 21:22 Does anyone know of schools that does Prayer before a game over a speaker? No one commented on the fact here we don't do it, yet I lose no sleep over it.
August 26, 201115 yr ^I have no Bible with me, so forgive me for asking, but do those verses say that Jesus wants us to pray "outloud" in groups?
August 26, 201115 yr You need to get rid of the "majority rules" thinking. It doesn't apply to law nor should it.Clyde I believe you might be wrong on this one. Doesn't majority rule on the supreme court when a case is ruled on? They don't all always agree on the law and I might be wrong but majority rules I think.
August 26, 201115 yr I guess you would have to the verses of the context of why we are prayng. We pray for our food if in a group everyone hears, Romans 14:6 we give thanks for blessings, Ephesians 5:20, Give thanks forever, Psalms 30:12, Pray with out ceasing 1st Thessalonians 5:17, so it has to be taken where is there a passage on the right way to pray. Most people when they pray bows their head and closes their eyes, no passage say to do that. when Jesus prayed he looked up to the Father in Heaven, Paul says to lift your hands in Holy Prayer, so Jesus might not say to Pray in a crowd to be heard but he does say to pray in everything in my name. How about a bottom _________________, we are not gonna change our mind about Praying, even though there are no prayers at our games here, and the non believers are not gonna change their's either, free will, which is given by God. But, I'll keep going as long as y'all want to, well I do have a game in a few hours where there will be no prayer except through me. But, I'll ask our AD about it and get his imput. I know the answer.
August 26, 201115 yr ^Which can be done in quietly and privately while sitting in the stands during a moment of silence if one so chooses. The prayer over the loudspeaker is completely unnecessary.

They don't all always agree on the law and I might be wrong but majority rules I think. Yes, the Supreme Court rules by a majority in their decisions. But a majority of Supreme Court justices doesn't always mean what the majority of citizens want.

I have been at events at Graves County where it has been done ... in part, possibly, because the principal is also an ordained minister.
August 26, 201115 yr Yes, the Supreme Court rules by a majority in their decisions. But a majority of Supreme Court justices doesn't always mean what the majority of citizens want. But I was referring to Clydes comment that the majority doesn't apply to the law.

Why is prayer done outloud to begin every session of Congress? Why doesn't every Congressman and woman pray silently to their "own" God? I am sure this will be under attack soon. Just give it time.............btw, the Chaplain in Congress is paid with U.S. tax dollars. WOW!
