Abolishing group prayer by elected representatives is logical?

Yes. What is the logic behind having a group prayer in the first place? As I asked before, aren't these people capable of praying on their own? In fact, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Jesus have a few words to say about public prayer?

Ok, so you believe it logical to silence public religious expression by office holders. Doubt I could do much to change that ridiculous conclusion. That's like saying feel free to speak your mind, just not out loud.

As for your insinuation that Jesus had a problem with public prayer all I can say is that I guess we each take away different things from reading the Bible. In my readings of the NT such an assertion was never made apparent to me.
