Few things funnier than a holier-than-thou boob being mocked and not getting it.

Except a crackpot crystal-worshipping faddist getting up to prove a point to rows of empty chairs.

Why 2 minutes? 2 seconds would be better. They are there to do a job, not hold a prayer meeting.

For the same reason our coinage bears the motto "In God We Trust" and our national anthem includes the phrase "this heaven-rescued land." For the same reason our framing document is written "with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence." For the same reason the Ten Commandments are chiseled in stone in the chambers of the Supreme Court. We ask God -- the real God, not this week's flavor -- to guide His fallible creations in the work they're about to undertake.

We're a Christain nation. Get over it.

A QVC fundamentalist?

What... a desire to "stick it" to Commies?

> For the same reason our framing document is written "with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence."

Framing document? I don't seem to remember that Deist teminology in the Constitution...


> We ask God -- the real God

Odin.

> to guide His fallible creations in the work they're about to undertake.

Be better if the people asked to do a job followed the *Consitituion,* not some god or other. Hold to the Constitution and you can't go wrong. Hold to what you think some god or other is telling you, and all manner of irrational wackiness will result.

> We're a Christain nation.

Huh. One wonders, then, why the legal system in this country is based on that of the pagan Saxons and not on the Ten Commandments, then.

No. We're a nation whose citizens are majority-Christian. That does not make us a Christian nation any more than the fact that the majority of Americans are white makes us a white nation.

Yes and we've seen the loss of liberty Christianity has given us. That is very difficult to "get over".
