Atheists recruited to be part of a lawsuit that is trying to rid government ceremonies such as the inauguration of a president of any invocation or other prayer have claimed they are made physically ill by prayer.
"As I watched the inauguration, my stomach did a somersault with disgust for how much our country was violating the constitution (sic), the most important document in our country," wrote a 15-year-old in testimony being given to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
The lawsuit was filed before President Obama's inauguration and subsequently was dismissed at the district court level. Briefs now are being submitted to the appeals court in plaintiffs' hopes the case will be reopened.
"I felt a temporary state of disconnection when these religious statements and prayers were made during the inauguration," wrote another paintiff, according to an appendix of information submitted with the plaintiffs' recent arguments in the case.
"All the prayers made me feel excluded from the political process and a second-class citizen," wrote another. "But, when Chief Justice Roberts asked the president to say, 'So help me God,' I felt threatened and sick to my stomach."

What a lie. Prayer is nothing but some words to them, right?
Then don’t watch it!
I have no difficulty believing this at all. It’s Satan’s reaction to being in the presence of God.
Atheists make prayers sick.
Good!

Praying to Obama is not a violation of church in state, sweetie. Obama is not a deity therefore serves a secular purpose.
But how can an atheist become ill at the sound of prayer if there’s no such thing as incorporeal power?
There’s no such thing as atheists. It’s just another group trying to get in on Obamacare.
Like holy water to a vampire.
“As I watched the inauguration, my stomach did a somersault with disgust for how much our country was violating the constitution (sic), the most important document in our country,”
Right. Many of us felt that way. :)
Yup!
Funny, I have the same feeling about atheists!!
Sarcasm aside, until/unless these folks EVER become the majority of the population in this country, they have voluntarily decided to exclude themselves from these public ceremonies. If they choose to have no voice because of their idiocy, THAT'S their choice. They DON'T have a right to cram their perversion down the majority of Americans' throats!!
2 Cor 2:14-16
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?
Yes, they probably DO get physically ill from the scent of their own death.
First, a prayer at inauguration does not violate anything in the Constitution, but you're only 15 so probably haven't spent much time actually reading and understanding the Constitution and just listened to some liberal nut about a "separation of church and state clause" that doesn't actually exist in the Constitution.
Second the country is violating our Constitution a hell of a lot bigger than a prayer at inauguration and you're probably too young to realize it, care, or understand.
Atheists say mental health issues cause prayer to make them physically sick
No surprise. Prayer vexes their evil spirit, as much as it pleases the Holy Ghost.
