Michael Newdow Atheists recruited to be part of a lawsuit that is trying to rid government ceremonies such as the inauguration of a president of any invocation or other prayer have claimed they are made physically ill by prayer.
"As I watched the inauguration, my stomach did a somersault with disgust for how much our country was violating the constitution (sic), the most important document in our country," wrote a 15-year-old in testimony being given to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
The lawsuit was filed before President Obama's inauguration and subsequently was dismissed at the district court level. Briefs now are being submitted to the appeals court in plaintiffs' hopes the case will be reopened.
"I felt a temporary state of disconnection when these religious statements and prayers were made during the inauguration," wrote another, according to an appendix of information submitted with the plaintiffs' recent arguments in the case.

"All the prayers made me feel excluded from the political process and a second-class citizen," wrote another. " But, when Chief Justice Roberts asked the president to say, 'So help me God,' I felt threatened and sick to my stomach."

Idiots.
Amen
So? What about the millions, nay, billions that atheists make sick just by being around? ;)
So they are feeling sick?They could just eat a bullet and we’ll all feel better.I feel better just thinking about it.
“As I watched the inauguration, my stomach did a somersault with disgust for how much our country was violating the constitution (sic), the most important document in our country...”
I felt that way, too, Buddy. but it wasn’t about the prayer!
that’s because their gut is trying to tell them something.
Ok, this is beyond just non-belief, this is an illness (of the mind, not stomach).
Now my father was an atheist and very very good friend is as well, but both of them are very tolerant of others and their faith. They both felt that religion wasn’t offensive as long as that religion didn’t impose the religious laws and rules onto their lives. Fair enough. But these people in this post have a problem.
Then you wander over to my mom, the spiritual warfare Pentecostal... and this sounds like (as my grandmother would say) “The Devil ain’t liking what he’s hearing. Satan gnashes his teeth when Jesus is praised!”
Good Lord why was I born to two opposites? I mean I have lived my life riding on the fence... BUT, in this case, I’m going with Granny. They get physically ill because Jesus is being praised.
Sounds terminal. I suggest a trip to see Dr Kevorkian.
Then, of course, there's the poor deluded muslim youth who get up the stairs to allah only to find they've ran out of virgins and must take the elevator down to hell to join the atheists.
LOL, such drama queens!
Sounds even better.
Mabe the athiest’s sick feeling is called guilt. Maybe the Holy Spirit is trying to get someone’s attention.
Makes me want to pray even harder! HARDER!
Basically the lawsuit boils down to this: it made ME feel bad, so I filed a lawsuit to stop the practice of public prayer, overturn the national tradition, and squelch the faith of millions ! As long as I don't have to feel my stomach turn over ever again ! It's my right !
Drama queen indeed.
The world will be a better place when the likes of Michael Newdow are pushing up daisies.
Maybe they should just not attend the ceremonies or be 5 minutes late.
The Saint Michael prayer is a good one and my favorite. If he wiped the floor with him once, he surely can and will do it again.
riles up those demons they're carryin' around ..
The sickness is caused by all of the unclean spirits in them.
I suppose they also want to black out references to God in the Declaration of Independence and other historical documents. Can’t they just be happy with the right to be atheists and be tolerant of those who aren’t? They should worry more about sharia law being recognized in the US.
Can't we just tell them that's what we prayed for, and then they'd have proof of God?
The intolerance of atheists makes me sick. Or would if I weren’t an adult and able to tolerate the concept that others might have differing opinions. So why aren’t they adults?
Christian prayer that is.
Safe to say they have no problem with spending hours in a lotus position or going out in the desert and blowing a conch shell or dancing naked around a bonfire while howling at the moon.
Like showing a Crucifix to a Vampire.
I can say that the atheists have given themselves over to Satan.
Gee, I guess that proves that Prayer works.
It's probably 80% wanting attention, the sin of vanity, and 20% the sin of envy, wanting to deny or destroy something for someone else. This type of atheist has a lot in common with the typical vain vegetarian. They are always leftists.
Strong religious faith has many advantages. A key advantage, seldom recognized, is winning at war, and similarly winning at team sports. A nation that shuns religion, especially in its military, is doomed. The 5 to 10% of the population that have no capacity for religious faith should support the 90 to 95% that do for their own good.
Interesting enough your average satanist don’t have their underwear in a wad about issues like public crosses and oaths.
And you know how that girl got possessed? Playing with a ouija board.
Saint Michael the Archangel,Hey, atheists, rage is NOT good for you. Just chill out.
