And when your religious prayer is sacreligious to mine and vice versa what then? If I lead a prayer on the Senate floor asking Satan for his blessing and guidance what then? Or what about all the superpac videos forthcoming of so and so doesn't bow their head when praying, yadda yadda? This is #ing ridiculous.

Really? We're in a country where the state and gov put roads in front of our houses, that we drive on, that we use to go to church... Should we ban that too?
Our taxes pay for every bit of that... so wouldn't that stuff belong to us and not the state?
Hmmmm Me thinks so...

But those roads go to all churches and non-churches alike. Once again, Governments neither build roads Only to Churches or Non Churches. Governments are restricted by law from saying "We only build roads to Christian Churches" or "Buddhist Temples" or "Native American Sweat Lodges" or "Anywhere that Is Not a Religious Place" equally.
Then you deal with it. You cant only have it your way. You have to be fair to all.

Well thank you supreme court....at least you realize that your country that you represent is a Christian one and these traditions are part of that heritage.
To everyone bothered by this....you can either live with Christians in a christian nation....OR not. Change is not an option when only YOU want it.
You change.
Good day. Little nudges huh....

Yes I read what you had to say, and I think that answer is a cop out.
No one should have to " just deal with it" that is not having religious freedom...
Hence the point of it supposed to be separate form state function.
Why can't the Christians just deal with it there will be no opening prayer?
