The Prayer is Mostly Painful for Me because of how the Separation of Church and State Shatters.
Edited on Tue Jan-20-09 11:52 AM by hnmnf
Its painful to hear at an official Government event to hear somebody talk about the scripture, And what HIS God says.

Its just disgusting.

7. True. How do we shake this invocation thing?
Shows how heavy the weight of tradition is.

Saying the Lord's Prayer at this event is just not fair to nonChristian Americans.
