A Christian university in Texas has created a prayer room for its Muslim students.The Methodist-affiliated McMurry University dedicated the space in one of the school’s residential dorms for its Muslim students’ daily prayers.
“Being Christians, we should be open to free religion and letting everyone do what they want to do and I think the Muslim prayer room gives them that chance,” student Hector Flores told BigCountry.com.
That student needs to answer this question; "if we as Americans are open to freedom of religion, and 'letting people do what they want to do' should we not then have a prayer room for every faith?" Ask yourself why you are catering to a single religion that is the only one demanding it of you. I would bet he couldn't answer it.
I would love to agree with you ^^^ but I think it actually starts at home.

I think the ignorance to what is going on starts at home with parents who don't ask and are not informed enough to know right from wrong themselves. I challenge our local schools on stuff all the time. I was referring to the actual "teaching" that Islam is a Religion of Peace which happens a lot in the schools. But if parents are lazy there's all sorts of nonsense that can be "taught".

if you think about it, THIS right here is a form of "church" for many of us. we talk, share lessons, edify and support one another, contribute to worthy causes, and hopefully all take away something of worth to share with our friends and family and improve our lives and the lives of those around us, all while fellowshipping.

I do let my feelings get a bit carried away at times while posting, and do not have the knowledge of most on here, but really feel good about this site and the people on it.

Normally I will wake up just a little better lookin' than the day before!I know, sounds crazy, but I can clearly see it. Today it was a small area just aft of my right eye. Small one millimeter size area was definitely a little better lookin' that beforeSo see, There's your proof! ;-)

We tend to think of a church as the building itself, but what happens when the building burns down or is somehow damaged? The people meet in the parking lot or in some small commercial space and guess what....the same praying and Christian behavior occurs....the "church" is the shared discussions, prayers and beliefs of the people. And for that, with threads like this one, or any of the threads we have here, make this no less a church in my mind. It's a wonderful thing imo.
