Prayer should be allowed in schools and for those who don’t agree with it can simply ignore it. We the people have the right to pray. Praying is something we as Christians

Augsburger‚ (1) the honor that is given to God through our worship‚ (2) our dependence upon God makes us humble and (3) the hope that we have under the lordship of God ( Augsburger M. S. 1982‚ p.87).

However‚ Jesus spoke against this‚ encouraging everyone to go somewhere private to pray and use prayer as a means of meditation and to strengthen ones relationship with God‚ not their social status.

Analysis of A Prayer for my Daughter by W.B. Yeats‚ Stanzas 9-10 Stanza 9: Yeats states that if hatred is ridded off‚ “the soul recovers radical innocence.” Hatred causes sin and violence; hence to be rid of it is to be innocent of these crimes.

Owen and Jesus made many sacrifices throughout their lives for people who disregarded their propositions due to them seeing Owen and Jesus as inferior because of their appearances. For example‚ the sunday school students
