And 23 percent said “public meetings shouldn’t have any prayers at all because prayers by definition suggest one belief or another.”

So, by this logic, wouldn't the lack of a prayer endorse atheism or agnosticism, both of which are favored religions of the Godless left?

In a saner time when I was involved in a local government, the problem was solved simply by rotating the prayer leader. While many, but not all, of the Christian clergy avoided mentioning Jesus when they led the prayer, a respected local rabbi who was called upon to lead the prayer in early December, invoked his name and won a lot of friends.

I would just have a pot and a drawing when scheduling the annual public meetings.

If a minister wants his name in the pot, then he/she adds it.

They pull out a name and what they get is what they get.

We absolutely must pray ONLY in the name of Jesus Christ, or we are bringing God's wrath upon ourselves.

The Christian faith is based on the Bible. We are not to add or take away anything from it. It is God's Law Word.

God is a jealous God, his justice is perfect. If we make deals with each other, those deals do absolutely nothing to protect us from his wrath. The Bible is what Christianity is based on and it is very clear: God wants us to obey his Law Word.
