And they let the Muslim go first. I wanted to throw up when he said, in the name of almight allah, yadda yadda yadda. But nobody mentioned the name of Jesus Christ.

That disturbed me as well, I'm sick of this obeseience to the non-Western faiths. A small minority of people at the Convocation would derive comfort from the words spoken by the Imam or the Buddhist, as compared to the familiar words fr0orm the Bible.

We are being conditioned.

Got your post a little late....

I could not agree with you MORE. The interesting thing was that later on near the end, someone must’ve started the Lord’s Prayer and it looked like every single student/person in that auditorium was reciting that in unison. That spoke volumes to me, knowing that for many (probably most) the words of comfort come from the Christian Scriptures. I think what you said about the conditioning is right on. Thank God, I’ve already been conditioned by the Holy Spirit.
