Religion should not be forced on anyone, and should never be taught in public schools.

Hegspeth already excluded Catholics from his Easter service at the Pentagon, and that will only be the beginning. Catholics will be fighting with Protestants. Methodists will be fighting with Prebyterians and Episcopalians, etc., and Baptists will be fighting with everyone.

How do I know this as a fact? Because I'm old enough to remember witnessing it happening! We've already been there and done this.
