Separation of Church and State: SCOTUS Rules Town Can Begin Meetings with a Prayer

[pgardn]

This whole prayer bull is nothing but Pharisiacal "look at me and how religious I am, plus Christ told me to kick all y'all's non-Christian asses".

WTF good, or difference, does an opening prayer make to a classroom or govt meeting? Totally gratuitous religion-izing bull .

What about the pledge?

What about the pledge?

the Pledge, too, esp the fake "Under God" modification.

So just a good wrap with the gavel and get things started.

I always thought a good monotonous chant was the right way to settle the masses for business.

saying "let's get things started" works just fine

And y'all Super Patriots can stick Red-Glaring Rockets up your asses and give up on the bloody, war-minded National Anthem and the accompanying multi-branch, military-glorifying color guard.

It's ALL bull and self-stroking myths.

Why?

Shall make no law. under freedom of speech, this means no law shall be made prohibiting religion as well.

who's prohibiting religion?

the FFs were extremely aware of the ancient, corrupt, toxic power amalgam of Church + State in Europe, want to preclude, FIRST! amendment, any such horror in USA.

boutons undoubtedly enjoyed the out of Super Patriot, uber conservative local radio talking head Joe Pags turning the National Anthem into some jazzy/bluesy tune before Game 7 of the Spurs-Mavericks' series.

I doubt that guy (Pags) has ever taken anyone to task for not correctly honoring the flag or the anthem.

"When asked if he would allow representatives from non-Christian faiths and non-faiths, including Jews, Muslims, atheists and others, the Hollins District supervisor said he likely would not."

iow, "My Fairy Tales are better than Your Fairy Tales".

Thanks, SCOTUS FIVE! ing up the country with every decision

and SCOTUS FIVE lets NDAA continue to lock up Americans forever, no access to lawyers, no trial.

VRWC SCOTUS is pushing the Cons ution aside, we are now post-Cons utional, exactly as the VRWC always intended.

Scotus 5 sounds like a navy seal unit or something
