If this sort of ban is on public invocations or prayers, then I can understand the USAF ban on this sort of prayer, since to some (hypersensitive) people, public invocations in the name of Jesus is ... Well, I'm not sure what the word is, but they don't like it.

On the other hand, if it's while performing prayer services, then this is a complete outrage, and something needs to be done about it!

Prayer is just talking to God and God to Christians is Christ Jesus. To pray to Him, He needs to be addressed, called out to by His name. That someone would say you have no right to call on His name is crazy. That is offends is of course true. It offends the demons and devils that cannot stand His name...but....this IS our Lord and IT is His Name and His name MUST be used while praying. Why - would we address a friend on the phone for an hour and not use their name.

If you were in a crowded Walmart and one of your small children accidentally escaped your grip, you would scream and cry out for them using their name. "Suzy, Suzy, where are you!!" Now can you see the Walmart manager saying "Um, excuse me, but you are welcome to call out to your missing daughter, but do not use her name.!" I mean, this is crazy! Telling a certain group of people not to use the name of their God!!! The demons are in triple overtime! We are in the endtimes, hold fast To Him for many will fall away in these last days!!!

A healthy culture doesn't cater to the hypersensitive.

It says to them, "Get a grip. And if you can't get a grip, shut up."
