cormac has many positive qualities. Sarcasm and satire being two of them.
As this post "On Prayer in Schools" shows so very well.
"No, prayer is a community activity. All students should pray at exactly the same time of day, no matter where they are. It will build a sense of oneness, and it's difficult to kill someone when you pray to the same God, right, Ireland? And to make sure that the students know when they're supposed to pray, there should be a sound that goes over the P.A. system...a bell or something. Come to think of it, why limit to once a day? If you increase it to five times a day, you can get five times the amount of togetherness, and you can use it as a marker between classes.
Now we're getting somewhere, but I still have concerns, particularly for childrens' health. As we know from numerous bumper stickers (God answers knee-mail, etc.) Good Christian Children(tm) can't pray when they're sitting, standing, or lying down. No, they must kneel while they pray. But the floors of most schools are tile or cement, and kneeling five times a day on such hard ground will be horrible for them (but great for doctors). So we need a way to make sure that students don't hurt their knees while praying, wherever they are.
I've got it! We'll make mats for them. Small ones they can roll up and take with them, then lay out when they hear the sound that it's time to pray. And we can have them in patterns from the Holy Land that Jesus might have seen, so that they will be more holy."
