Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:41:12 +0000 http://www.newburyportnews.com/opinion/local_story_031094112 http://www.newburyportnews.com/opinion/local_story_031094112 I have been listening to some of the dialogue of the presidential races and reading a number of sources on religion. It took over 200 years to stop the government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from dictating to the citizens of the commonwealth what their religious beliefs were to be. It took another hundred years to get the schools of the state to stop prescribing certain prayers. Now there is a great effort, at federal and local levels, to return to religious indoctrination by the state. The question is simple! Do you wish the state to dictate the religious beliefs of your family or do you wish to make that decision?
