Idiots
So, I'm a HUGE proponent for separation of church and state. No, I don't think we go go around and deface all of the historical buildings and documents to remove references to god, but I do think we should keep religion out of the government as much as possible (I am a fan of taking "under god" out of the pledge as it was not in the original version and was only inserted as a show of our religious might against the godless communists (also, In God We Trust was made up in the 1910s as a way to assert some godliness into our money...)).
Anyway, some members of god's gang were out in force today in the US Senate, making asses of themselves. Based on my prior paragraph, you'd be able to pretty easily determine that I don't favor having any prayer at all before the opening of a congressional session. But, if you're gonna go ahead and have one, I think it should represent all the faiths that are followed by the American people (you know, the ones who the members of Congress are elected to represent...). But, god's gang seems to think that only jeebus himself should be present in the Senate, and interrupted the prayer offered by a Hindu priest in order to spread their word. That's tolerance for ya... Way to grasp the teachings of Jesus. Idiots.

We are pretty much "on the same page." I don't, I suppose, mind a very generic and brief prayer (as, let us say, a cultural nod)..to God or Spirit, but no way should it be addressed to Jesus or krishna or the Buddha.
I will finish by saying that I thought the comment about saying a prayer for you, and providing the opinion that your behavior is losing you "heavenly Brownie points" to be patronizing and rude. Oh, "exponentially" was also misspelled. zounds456@aol.com
