Muscatine

"I'm already out, and I'm waiting until these people decide you are next." Does that mean you were thrown out of town? You worshipped the wrong person? You ate the wrong food? You didn't wear clothes? You drank too much water? Please let us know so that we may change OUR evil ways.

Oh, I almost forgot, what evil things will happen to us if Dyann becomes Mayor. Will every meeting begin with  Bad things are happening in Muscatine?

"Probably just an illegal Christian prayer"

Quite perplexing how something that does not have any effect on anything or anyone seems to upset a few so much. 

But it does affect others.   It makes listening to someone else's idea of what is a proper observance of religion a condition of participating in a government activity.

Well that is of course, if you anti-Christians are correct and God does not exist. 

You've jumped to a conclusion about my religious views.   Without basis I might add.   And it makes no difference.

Now you are probably going to say that this does not make you anti-Christian but that you are making a point even though the majority do not agree with your point. 

Correct.  And the majority is wrong.   Religious activity has no place as part of government activity.   The Constitution and courts are clear on this.   Although it's often overlooked.

Guess what, at times I don't care that I offend a few people and if I was told that honoring my Lord was illegal then they're going to have to arrest me and listen to me honoring God in jail, another Government facility. 

Honoring your Lord is not the problem.   I support you in it.   Everybody is allowed to pray in prison.  

What's next Mal, cutting tongues out or disfiguring to make it impossible to honor our Lord? 

Rediculous.

Sorry but those of us that truly believe in God will find a way to do so no matter how you feel.

And you should, as should all others of all religions.   But don't expect to force any of your beliefs or rituals onto those who disagree with you and use the facilities of the government to do so.

If there was a way to balance the religious services at government activities among all religions, it would be much better.   However there are so many ideas of what the true religion is, that that's impossible.   Those who wrote the Constitution knew that and insisted they be kept separate.

And there are those who would simply have a fit or go into a rage if some Muslim ever got the microphone.   Or Wiccan, or others.

And how many of us are willing to prostate ouselves as we pray?

Normally I just chuckle at you're gross stupidity but this one offends me.

I hope you get past it.
