re: #160 brookly red

I am thinking that this may end up in court…

Probably, but they will lose, that is just how it is now. If the Feds are helping to pay for the meals which they are then someone cannot lead a communal “Christian” pray before the meals. If you want to say your own pray out loud from out of your own head they can’t stop you, or if if you want to pray silently then obviously they won’t even know to object if they wanted to right?

It is the exact same reason prayers before school lunches were done away with, because a staff member or student would get up and lead all the rest through a set “Christian” prayer. Even the Muslims, the sikhs, the Jews, and the atheists, everyone had to stand and bow their heads.

They certainly can’t stop you from praying on your own, (which by the way is how Jesus said to do it in order to avoid being a “pious hypocrite”) but they sure can stop you from being lead in a ‘common prayer’ while at a venue being supported by the government.

I agree with the reasoning, I have no desire to live in a theocracy…
