Pastor Jeffress II "No you don't that is not what the 1st Amendment says!"

Spoken like a "true atheist" and spoken like a "true Christian"? The atheist is right, if you have a law that says that one religion, Christianity, can do things that no other religion can, then you create second class citizens.



The other day I put it this way:

Pastor Jeffress believes that the First Amendment says that a teacher can select a 6 year old Christian boy to lead his public school first grade class in prayer. However, when the boy's practicing Jewish best friend volunteers to lead the following day, the teacher can say, "I am sorry Ben you can't, because you are a Jew."

This was based off a Southern Baptist who taught 3rd grade at a Public Elementary School  in the 1940's.  Every morning she would put two Catholic students and one Jewish student in the hallway while she led a "Christian" Bible Study for her students.  Obviously the parents of the Jewish child were outraged and the principal put a stop to the practice citing "Mr. Jefferson"'s wall of separation of church and state.[1]  I will write more about it later, but in a sermon, Jeffress blatantly claims that you do not have to allow prayer from any other religion than Christianity.  Perhaps, Jeffress would object to the tone of "you can't, because you are a Jew", but he would not object to the constitutionality.[2]
