JD, the people who complained most were the ones praying every morning.

Krob, why are you yelling? I forgive you for your ignorance. It is clear that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

praying in the Senate every morning IS a violation of the separation of church and state...so i'm not sure what you're getting at.

There should be no prayers in either house of Congress - just the act of prayer in a government building is a violation of the separation of church and state.

Public prayer by govt officials is an endorsement of religion and that is against the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Because most of these religious people are dogs. They only want to promote their belief and look down on others who preach the same good things. They just want a complete Christian nation. The idiots.

The U.S. is a self-righteous religionstate that can do whatever it wants because it became the richest, most powerful nation the easy way: with slaves. They're just coasting now, that's why they appear to be so stupid whenever we hear stories from there.

They don't pray, they make a show of pseudo-religious zeal to pander to the great American public.

That question is EXACTLY why they should NOT pray in the Senate.

FUNNY OR NOT. IT WAS THE IDEA OF THAT PERSON PRAYING TO A MULTIPLE GROUP OF GODS THAT ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS "THE GOD ALL MIGHTY" THAT IS MENTIONED IN OUR HISTORICAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. MOST RELIGIONS THAT HAVE BEEN THROWN TOGETHER WITH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ARE TREATED AS INSULTIVE DISPLAYS OF WORSHIP TO TRUE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
