Personally? No, not one bit as I listen nor believe in either one. And believe me I am exposed to this stuff often living where I live.

Damon proposed a common-sense compromise right from the start (moment of silence instead of public Christian prayer). What do you think he should have done? Sat silently while the school administration violated his constitutional rights because hey, it's only two minutes of his life, big deal, right? That's not a compromise. That's rolling over and taking it.

Yes he certainly is in better shape now than had he just listened for a couple minutes to something he already didnt believe in.....you sure have a point there.
