A set of parents. 1 parent a 1st generation immigrant. The other parent a U.S. Born citizen. They have children born in The U.S. They grow up noticing that 1 of their parents are not like the rest of the other parents they see in other homes. The 1 parent does not speak English too well, does not read English too well nor can write English too well. And so they grow up in their first set of years noticing such things. Maybe, even in the private moments of youth, they were made fun of due to their 1 parent. But they have the U.S. born attitude within their hearts. They find that discrimination is wrong, they find that making fun is wrong, they find that injustices, to their own personal hurts, is wrong. And so they develop into advocates of what is right and what is wrong. As they get into the age of mid grade school, they begin to argue with their parent, the parent who does not seem to understand the ways of current U.S. circumstances and how they are dealt with. This child does not speak the native tongue of that 1 immigrant parent but only speaks English, the language of the U.S. born Citizen. But because the other parent speaks English, they can converse and have 'somewhat' full conversations. And just as many parents have arguments with their children about 'different' things, so also does this home. But the arguments here are more of a cultural nonadaptive manner. The question is 'why cannot this home be like every other home'? In a sense, societal peer pressure, even the 'norms' of homes and families, have played a role into the arguments. Let us take our minds off of this family and place it upon another. Let us put it upon the Mateens. The Mateen Family, with Omar as the child, may have grown and lived under similar circumstances. Omar Mateen was known to have gone to grade school but had a difficult time speaking English. While he was raised in a community where English is mainly spoken, it seems as if he did not find any acquaintances in his neighborhood before he entered into grade school. He did not intermingle with many of the 'kids' in his neighborhood and he was not associated with many English speaking persons. And so when he entered into grade school, he had a difficult time with speaking English. Such is an example of those who are born on U.S. soil to a parent or parents whose personal English skills and U.S. knowledge is not full.
A key factor, in my estimation, as to why these sets of circumstances are even 'allowed' to raise its leery head is this: The lack of defense and the lack of Truth of defending that which has already been Established in The United States; mainly The Constitution of The United States. What was established for the common good of all of the, then, citizens has changed into that which is to be used for the common good for any who have their feet upon U.S. soil. The Second Amendment; The Right of Bearing Arms, was Established not for profitable business sakes'. It was established to have the, then, citizens in a sense of safety against any attackers who were on the contrary of them being there. How does the then policy for safety have any application in Today's U.S.? The right to bear Arms, today, is for any whose feet are on U.S. Soil, or so it seems. Moving onward past those whose lives lived over 230 years ago, we should not forget those whose lives were but at the same time we should not have our minds and hearts dwell in a time when we, ourselves, were not even around. Noone can be absolutely sure as to what occurred but we give belief to those historians and such who have penned down events and occurrences that happened. Their penning down is as a first hand eye witness testimony. But today, with so many Laws and Rules in Place, being Amended to Amendments, and with such a high rise in human population and with the many different Countries of births, The U.S. Constitution is not so much the same as The U.S. Constitution as it is The Constitution of All who have their feet on U.S. Soil.
In 1962, the Court examined a simple twenty-two word prayer, first used to negate prayer in schools: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country.” This simple prayer, said by children, acknowledged God. Americans’ indifference allowed the removal of prayer from our schools. This is but one of the steps toward complete destruction of America’s original Judeo-Christian educational system. This value-free environment has resulted in chaos. David Barton graphically illustrates how America has plummeted from righteous living, prosperity, and success in the last quarter-century. Consider the following charts compiled from his publication, America: America: To Pray or Not to Pray Since the 1962 removal of prayer: SAT Total Scores http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/when-prayer-was-taken-out-of-school/ Maybe it was the word 'BEG' which made the Courts remove the Prayer. Sophisticated minds do not particularly enjoy the uses of subjugating words and ideas. However, let's take a closer look into the word, 'beg'. beg (v.) "to ask alms," especially to do so habitually as one's way of life, c. 1200, of uncertain origin. Perhaps from the rare Old English bedecian "to beg," from Proto-Germanic *beth-. Or from Anglo-French begger, a back-formation from Old French noun begart (see beggar (n.)) and ultimately from Beguine, which OED considers "perhaps the most likely derivation." The Old English word for "beg" was wædlian, from wædl "poverty." Related: Begged; begging. Meaning "ask for" (a favor, etc.) is by 1520s. As a courteous mode of asking (beg pardon, etc.), attested by c. 1600. Of dogs, 1762. To beg the question (1580s) translates Latin petitio principii, and means "to assume something that hasn't been proven as a basis of one's argument," thus "asking" one's opponent to give something unearned, though more of the nature of taking it for granted without warrant. To beg off (something) "obtain release from by entreaty" is from 1741. Definition of beg off intransitive verb : to ask to be excused from something transitive verb : to ask or gain permission to be excused from . begged off attending the party https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/beg off alms (n.) "charitable relief of the poor," especially as a religious duty, also "that which is given to relieve the poor or needy," Old English ælmesse "almsgiving, act of relieving the needy," from Proto-Germanic *alemosna (source also of Old Saxon alamosna, Old High German alamuosan, Old Norse ölmusa), an early borrowing of Vulgar Latin *alemosyna (source of Old Spanish almosna, Old French almosne, Italian limosina). This was a variant of Church Latin eleemosyna (Tertullian, 3c.), from Greek eleemosyne "pity, mercy," in Ecclesiastical Greek "charity, alms," from eleemon "compassionate," from eleos "pity, mercy," which is of unknown origin and perhaps imitates cries of pleading. Spelling perversion in Vulgar Latin is perhaps by influence of alimonia (see alimony). https://www.etymonline.com/word/beg https://www.etymonline.com/word/alms What was happening in The U.S. in 1962 so that an uproar might have been heard in The U.S. pertaining to School Prayer?

Ike’s mother was the devotee of the River Brethren, an Anabaptist sect, and she trained her sons extensively to memorize Scripture. Much later she joined the Jehovah’s Witnesses. For much of his adult life, though not irreverent, Ike had not belonged to a church, sometimes attending liberal Mainline Protestant congregations that he complained focused more on politics. Upon his 1952 election to the presidency, the former general resolved to become a church member. Joining a pacifist, separatist sect from his childhood was unlikely for the nation’s chief magistrate and commander in chief. Billy Graham steered Eisenhower to National Presbyterian Church, whose pastor had been a World War II military chaplain. Perhaps Graham also surmised that orderly Presbyterianism would appeal to the organizer of D-Day. And Mamie Eisenhower had been Presbyterian. National Presbyterian Church was then in a stately downtown sanctuary just south of Washington’s Dupont Circle, only a brief drive north of the White House. Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson, among other presidents, had attended the congregation. J. Edgar Hoover was a member. It offered the perfect dignified stage for a President’s attendance. But Eisenhower, who was far more complex than the avuncular golfer often imagined by friends and critics, was interested in more than show. Reputedly the Rev. Edward Elson explained to the new President that all new church members had to be catechized in a membership class. Eisenhower’s schedule would not allow attendance. But he invited Elson to instruct him one-on-one at the White House in the ways of Presbyterianism, which Elson supposedly did. Ike was the first and only sitting president to be baptized while in office. https://spectator.org/38107_eisenhowers-religion/ The National Presbyterian Church is a Christian congregation of approximately 1,500 members of all ages from the greater metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. The mission statement of the church is "Leading People to Become Faithful Followers of Jesus Christ Together in God’s World"[1] The congregation meets at 4101 Nebraska Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. Designated as the national church of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the building complex occupies a 12-acre campus comprising six separate structures, including a main cathedral in the Neo-Gothic style—the third largest religious center in the nation’s capital. President Dwight D. Eisenhower laid the cornerstone October 14, 1967. The National Presbyterian Church dates its origins back to 1795, when a group of Scottish stonemasons working on the construction of the White House met for worship. Since then, the congregation has been housed in several buildings across the city. Numerous presidents as well as other national and international leaders have attended the church. In 1866, the pastor invited Frederick Douglass, noted black abolitionist, to speak from the church's pulpit when no other church in Washington other than New York Avenue Presbyterian Church would do so. The church has hosted the British royal family, Mother Teresa and many other notable leaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Presbyterian_Church
Freemasonry or Masonry consists of fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons, which from the end of the fourteenth century regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. The degrees of freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Apprentice, Journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. These are the degrees offered by Craft (or Blue Lodge) Freemasonry. Members of these organisations are known as Freemasons or Masons. There are additional degrees, which vary with locality and jurisdiction, and are usually administered by different bodies than the craft degrees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry This picture can symbolize the 2 sets of legs, one set over another in some kind of meditative or sexual allusion. And one thing which anyone who claims freedom over God can use as a topic of defense or attack is the person's own individual right to have any type of sexual practice they desire which goes contrary to The Holy Bible's recommendations against being promiscuous or unfaithful in marriage. For allusions of same sex intercourse, The Holy Bible once again, recommends that males keep themselves clean from other male's uncleanliness just in the same way The Holy Bible recommends that males keep themselves clean from women's uncleanliness during their monthly discharge. This is why The Holy Bible recommends that a full washing of the body be done after any seed of copulation go out from him. Leviticus 15:16-18 "And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even." And this is another topic of debate within The Churches. How can male Pastors or Preachers who condone any type of sexuality possibly stand upon The Altar of God while being unclean if, perhaps, they have not followed God's Prescription of cleansing after the seed of copulation went/goes out from him?
My personal opinion is this: I think I would much rather think that being Clean is more of a Righteous thing than being unClean even if serving God. If any Country or Nation has a preference of condoning and proselytizing uncleanliness over Cleanliness, that is their choice. But forcing others to receive uncleanliness should not be endorsed nor enforced. This whole World's system of beliefs and practices and emotions and free wills is nothing but unClean. Spying, intruding, taking, stealing, lying, deceiving, murdering, raping, mugging, etc... These are all things unClean. In the world's wordings of definitions; Filthy. It doesn't matter what race of persons anyone might belong to... Even the spotless Asians can be equally, if not more, unClean than the filthiest of them. The world is seeking to be Cleansed out from their unCleanliness. Why prevent them from doing so? There are fake Police, fake Doctors, fake Politicians and even Fake Ordained Ministers nowdays. People are getting sick of remaining in Filth.
