Well lj, if these Folks are so needy of "refreshment" at work, then perhaps working in the church of their choice might be a better calling, than City Government.
As such, it's a Board of Supervisors meeting, not a Sunday School. If you want to limit the opening prayers to one Religion, then eliminate the opening prayersall together, and let those that need "refreshment" get it on their own time...
And our currency is a medium of monetary exchange, not the Book of Common Prayer. Yet it bears religious references that reflect the values on which this country was founded, and from which it seeks continued guidance.
If you want to limit the opening prayers to one Religion ...
IF. Reread my initial post. I never said the invocation should be limited to one religion. In fact, I said that to be fair, the loon should be given equal time. I simply said that nobody could be required to LISTEN to her. And nobody has made any cogent attempt to argue that point.
The problem with your assessment is that is just that - your personal opinion. And it apparently is the opinion of the ACLU, and we know what their purposes and goals are.
Your opinion is not based on tradition, history, the constitution, or, apparently, the will of this particular County Board. So why should it carry any weight?
