I know I must accept that there will be other religions represented by prayer in the senate or risk being intolerant. But I think I’d rather there be NO prayer than have to listen to a hindu or muslim prayer. If I were a Senator I would have to wear ear plugs or say a Christian prayer to myself.

Don’t worry. The senators aren’t listening. The immigration debate kinda proved that.

Wahhh wahh wahh, there’s somebody with a different religion than yours. Deal with it. Move on.

Or just don't go. Attending prayers isn't mandatory for the Senate -- First Amendment, you know.

There weren’t any senators there but bedwetter Reid and one other senatorial somnambulist, actually. Even the possibly living Mr.Byrd had been wheeled out from the day before and not wheeled back in again. Any Rotary meeting in rural America would draw a vastly larger and substantially more intellegent crowd than the opening of the Senate of the United States does on a daily basis— and a more patriotic one. Most of the U.S. Senators are too demented, or hung over or too old or too busy sucking up to big money to go to their place of employment many days, and they are probably better paid to be elsewhere even if by some curious lapse of senatorial standards they might want to go to the Senate out of curiosity. These millionaires don’t think like the rest of us and ought not to be re-elected, even if some of them might have to take up honest work for awhile after weaning from their source of sustenance. In the war on terror this is probably an advantage for Senators. Why would a foreign terrorist want to harm a U.S. Senator? They are not very American, and they already wet themselves waiting for elevators, for the disclosures of bimbos and for lobbyists, for the six-o’clock news, and for the debriefings of the interns and pages. A logical terrorist would conclude they are not worth much effort. When you’ve got such a worthless lot, their replacements could hardly be any sorrier.

Those are the choices: either all prayers invited, or none.

My choice would be the opposite of yours. I'd say bring 'em all on, and let's deal with the lot. Truth has a chance to trump falsehood in an open forum, and courage will always raise eyebrows.

And yes, if the paganism got too obnoxious, I would wear earplugs if I didn't want to hear it.

That's better than living a public life that's been boiled, sterilized, and scrubbed of every reference to God, religion, spirit and heart.

Let the Hindus pray. Proportional to the population, for the next 50 weeks it'll be the Christians' turn.
