It said "I won't pray in your school if you don't think in my church". Are they for prayer in school....against prayer in school....or maybe they are just against thinking. I just don't get it!

Ever hear , "please don't pee in my pool, I don't swim in your toilet."?
They are asking (in a very condescending way), why is it okay for non-religious people to exercise their beliefs in the domain of religious people, while religious people may not exercise their beliefs in the domain of thinking people.
What they are incorrectly assuming is...
1) All non-religious people want to think in church (most don't even GO to church)
2) Thinking is a religion
3) Schools shouldn't have rules
If religious people REALLY want to pray in school, nobody is stopping them. They simply must pray in their heads. The truth is, they just want to be pains in the butt. In fact, by making the statement on the bumper-sticker, they are actually ridiculing themselves, because it implies that praying people prefer not to think.
Can't imagine why they don't see this (ha ha)!

I think that what they were trying to say is, That if Prayer is not allowed in school, Then, why Should they allow them to think in church. Because Praying in a church is just as important as Thinking is at school. I do believe that They are for Prayer in school and do not think it should be banned.

"I won't pray in your school if you don't think in my church".
Pray in school think in church
You pray in church, and "think" in school.
They want a separation of state and religion.
No tax money for any churches, taxes for public schools. Humanity has so many religions it would take the whole school year to explain them all, so no one would be able to file a law suit, for being excluded.
While in school you are supposed to learn things to think better, prepare for a career in a field. Public school is not a place for faith - that's done at home by the parents. School is for facts to prepare for your future endeavors.
This is predominately a K-5 issue.

I think that this is someone that is for prayer in school and against those that don't have faith because they try to think/reason out everything. Faith is just something that you have to go on....can't really think it through. So, "I won't bring my prayer into your public school if you won't come into my church and try to discredit my God/faith."

I may be wrong, but to me it sounds like a non Christian saying there is no thinking in churches. I am no longer a Christian, but when I was I was offended when people said that Christians just believed anything without thinking.

I get it - but the one that doesn't want religion in schools gets the last laugh.
the moron that created the bumper sticker doesn't realize that most likely, the person that doesn't want religion in schools...doesn't go to church.
therefore, why would they "think in church" if they don't go there?

It sounds to me like...
A Christian was trying to strike a deal.
Christian: Look, okay? I'll stop bringing Bibles to school and praying in class... if you stop going to Church to figure out what's wrong with the Bible and my religion.

It sounds like a fundamentalist christian message to not question authority or the word of god in church. In other words, it's our way or the highway...
