[Illbay]

Your argument is spurious. But it brings up a point: Why couldn't these legislators have just been inconspicuously absent on that day?

I suspect it is because they wanted to stage their bigoted bit of performance art.

I said:

"From the article:

A prayer is given at the beginning of each Senate and House session, and attendance is hit or miss, particularly on Mondays.

I guess this means that the legislators who are not present / walk out for "business" or any other reason on any other day all also Bigots? I assume that you, Illbay will also call for thier resignation?

The only "tolerance" garenteed in the constitution is that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ". This does not force us to listen to them, only to allow them to beleive what they want to. That is true tolerance, both sides tolerate each other! "

You said:

Please tell my which parts of my post were "spurious".

You sir, do not like facts and, when confronted with them chose to hide from them instead of confront them!

Is it also bigoted when liberals do the same type of actions toward christians? After all, this type of thing is done to christians on a daily basis in this country from the left, but I have yet to hear anyone on the left denounce that as bigoted. I guess it is only bigoted when a republican does it.

That's what I like about liberals. It is not the act or intent that they care about, only the party affiliation. Hence, Bill Clinton was allowed to sexually harass and rape, without a word from the left.
