Didn't you exchange your IQ for a pair of plums just yesterday, MT?

That was a COD delivery, you can't return it.

Just quoting one of my new conservative friends.

wtf?

First of all I agree with Chair's opinion that any .gov should be devoid of all faiths. However, should a tradition exist where an 'invocation of a higher being', then fine, go nuts, but try to avoid favoritism and make it 'unofficial'.

As far as I'm concerned, athiesm is also a faith. Should equal air time be given, then I suppose an athiest would perform the anti-invocation.

To the three that walked out, neato. They excersized their right, as Iron mentioned.

I disagree. If that was the case, democracy should have happened a long time ago. 600(?)-1800 AD Europe was Christian, but not American or anything like it.

And other values our country is based on existed before and after Christ, in many places.

That being said, I think those walk-out guys aren't jerks. They're whiners. Who cares if an athiest does the speech, let him do it and be secure in your own religious beliefs. Don't throw a tantrum.

"I just can't sit here and listen to someone that does not believe in a supreme being"...that is intolerance.

"I think the invocation is a time for the council to start their day with an expression of faith."...that's perfectly fine, you can do that yourself even while an atheist is speaking.

I'd still like to hear how Chairboy knows these protesters were Christian. Or at least an acknowledgment that he doesn't and perhaps an apology for calling Christians jerks based on his kneejerk reaction.
