-There should be prayer and Bibles aloud in schools, but not forced. As in, if someone is done with their work, they should be aloud to quietly read their Bible

If this was allowed in school then other religions would have to be allowed to read their religious book during class time(torah,Qur'an etc). For the respect of all religions I don't think this is a great idea.

-Yes, we should protect the enviorment some, but it shouldn't be our MAIN priority.

I totally agree with this. Especially with the current poverty situation in poorer areas of the world

-I do NOT believe in abortion. I don't know what I think of rape or life-death situations, but DEFFINITALLY not for a teenager that was careless.

I pretty much agree. Abortion should definitely be allowed in the case of rape.
For a teenager that was careless, well its a pretty difficult subject. If going ahead with the birth means that the child is in danger, or will have problems for its whole life, AND it is going to be a great risk to the mother, then maybe abortion is the best thing for mother and child. I think life or death situations are totally up to the mother, choosing between your life and another's is very hard.

-People should be able to earn and use their money according to how they work. I know that people need to give to others, but willingly (and somewhere were you KNOW the money will go to someone who needs it), not government-forced.

This is quite tricky. The government need your money in taxes to keep your local area safe and a nice place to live in but it would be quite nice to know where tax money was actually going

I think religious education (RE) shouldn't be allowed in School as compulsory (unless you've got a note from you parents) because, that's what my school did and it wasn't RE...it was Christianity Education. No other religion.

Not to mention that they did say things that translated to mean, "Be a christian or you don't deserve to live." I'm not really any religion...but I still celebrate Christmas and Easter etc. But would you like it if it was just Scientology or any other other religion as religious education and they tried to brainwash you into believing it? I'd think not.

That's not what I was saying at ALL. I said that people should be ALLOWED to express their faith in schools, not TEACH it.

I was never against that. I was just poitning out my opinions - and I agree with you. No matter what your religion you should be able to express your faith, but do it in a way that it won't insult anyone. An example of an insult is: "If you don't believe in god you're stupid." and everyone else must accept that there are other religions.

I actually agree with ervything your saying, I was just adding some things I believed and that it should be for every religion, and I believe that was what you were saying.

1. - I disagree, because if we had prayer classes that would be like forcing religion, or forcing to preform anothers religion on peers.

2.-Yes,

3.- I do believe in abortion, if the mother is sick, and the baby will be ill, then best for the baby, abortion shall be preformed, or if a women was r[ap]ed, or otherwise.. I support it, but i would never do it.

4.- I think it sould be goverment forced, because it pays for schooling, taxes, health care, ect ect.
