The Anti Christians Take Another Supreme Court Hit - oklalittledixie - 05-05-2014 07:17 PM
- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday gave local government officials across the United States more leeway to begin public meetings with a prayer, ruling that sectarian invocations do not automatically violate the U.S. Constitution.

Although the ruling referred only to legislative prayer, it could give a boost to government officials seeking to promote religion in public life in other contexts, such as sectarian religious displays in civic buildings.

If they feel uncomfortable joining the prayer, they can have a moment of reflection instead

like being able to pass an intelligence test and more fool proof identification. I would like to see an end to absentee ballots...regardless of who is using them.
Now back to the topic.

Because it's misinterpreted and used to oppress those who may not agree with the views of those who use it as a weapon.

Good one.Oh oh, now it's a weapon of mass destruction. Don't be afraid of it, it's your friend.
RE: The Anti Christians Take Another Supreme Court Hit - mathenis89 - 05-05-2014 10:43 PM
Don't recall saying it's a weapon of mass destruction. Good to see your reading skills are up to par.
People use it, through misinterpretation, to judge other human beings and deny them equal rights. It's used to dispute advances in science and technology.
Those are bad things.
Edit: Also, you really need to learn how to quote properly.
RE: The Anti Christians Take Another Supreme Court Hit - olliebaba - 05-05-2014 10:54 PM
Why quote the whole thing if I only want to stress the important stuff. When I wrote it I knew one of youse's would mention the weapon of mass destruction part. You guys really like to pick at minor stuff. But I think you still got my point.
