Gov?t bans prayer to God; Christian preschool forced to thank ?sun and rain? for meals instead

UMEA, Sweden, June 28, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) ? A Salvation Army-run preschool in Sweden was too Christian in its educational content, a government inspection found, so the school has stopped its "Bible snack time" lessons and praying grace before meals.
The country's Education Act bans "confessional" educational content during school time. It also says students must always be allowed to opt out of such activities.

My Aunt is always sending me BS about banned school prayer no matter how many times I explain to her A KID CAN PRAY ANYTIME HE WANTS.
Not that I am necessarily a great example, but I do not see where it did any of us any harm.

I would imagine that many of us remember saying grace before lunch at our public elementary schools.

If someone forced the children to thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the staggering payload of pasta he had bestowed upon them, I'm certain that no real harm would come to the children either.
That isn't the point.
If someone wants to pray before a meal, by all means pray. But don't insist it's something that everyone else must do.

We had a prayer led by our teacher before lunch. You were to remain silent or you could join in.
About the same as the pledge of allegiance before class started. You could remain silent or join in.
A much bigger deal is made of this stuff than it deserves, IMO.

My grandmother was 100% Swedish and she is now spinning in her grave at 3500 rpm!
Should we dig her up for the Dyno?

Because it's what we grew up with.
Have a Muslim teacher lead his students in bowing towards Mecca while reciting "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet" and watch the people howl from the rooftops.
Does anybody accept the theory that all things exist without and type of intelligent direction? It takes more intelligence that all the human race has combined just to understand the human body. Where does that leave us? Steven Hawking says it is about 100,000 light year across out galaxy. Do you realize how small that makes you. Personally I feel real unimportant.
The individual grain of sand on a golf course is small, insignificant, and part of a larger creation......but that doesn't mean the person who designed the course takes a deep, personal interest in each grain of sand.
The Swedes are hammering one more nail in their coffin.
They died when ABBA broke up and were buried when Saab quit making sports cars.
