I am not allowed to point out that your posts evince a hatred of God?
Whether some small minded virulent members of any religion hate other denominations is not my point. There are always the Fred Phelps and others of that ilk.
I have studied the Vedic scriptures for many years, the source books of what is generally called Hinduism. It is monotheist. There are many demigods, whose worship is actually condemned in the Bhagavad Gita. Demigods are like governemnt bureaucrats - they are appointed to manage the universe, but to worship them separately is like trying to bribe the Police Commissioner.
I am not saying the witch should not be able to have her say, but it should be on her own time. She should be able to rent a hall, give her speech, whatever. But if the Board of Supervisors don't want her to pray in their meeting, there is no constitutional reason why they should be forced to listen to her.
Free speech or free expression of religion doesn't mean others should be forced to listen or participate.

Strawman. You have no such evidence, anymore than you have evidnece that I hate The Joker.

But if the Board of Supervisors want to pray in their meeting, there is no constitutional reason why they should be force her to listen. Nor should they be paid to do so. If they choose to rent the town hall for however many minutes it takes them to do their little ritual, then, fine. Otherwise... why are they wasting the taxpayers dollars on their own egos? Don't we have enough of that *already*?
Following that reasoning, so long as one person complains about any prayers in the board meeting, that practice should be discontinued.
