YNKYH8R

I think it depends on the person. How important is it for some people to pray before they learn? For some cultures their beliefs are the focal point for their government, way of life, thought, foreign policy, laws, diet, education, choice of clothes, music, reading material, occupation, who they marry, how many children they have, where they are buried, how they are inturned, when they vaction, where they go, who runs the household, how much they tithe, if they tithe, their views on themselves, each other, their parents, and just about anythigng else I haven't thought of.

I think it is safe to say that some cultures are more religious than Americans are. Or at least they show it outwardly more. Like, for example, some people believe that if they die in service of their diety then they are assured a place in heaven, and they do just that. We are all different, and we all have to respect each other for what we all are, human.

And I think that is what it comes down to. Respect. We show respect to others who come here by allowing them to live their lives with out fear of rights being violated. This is a great country, and it those people that choose to become citizens that make it great. We are rich in diversity, now we just need to embrace it.
