So what. This judge can just go pound sound for all I care.
I'm not going along with the ruling and I dare the judge to send the US Marshalls to come around and make me conform.
Besides, judges do not have the authority to determine what is or is not legitimately religious in this country.

didn’t the first Continental Congress initiate a National Day of Prayer? I believe Lincoln did so too. Before the secularists who stole Thanksgiving Day and turned it into first graders wearing paper pilgrim bags and playing with turkeys and indians, that was a national day of prayer too. Whom were we giving Thanks to on Thanksgiving Day, after all, if not the God of the Christians?

lawsuit filed by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. Last time I checked I had Freedom OF religion, not Freedom FROM religion!

Freedom from religion isn’t in the U.S.Constitution. What this judge has done violates, literally, our rights.
If you don’t want to pray, then don’t. If you don’t like someone’s religous message, walk away, run away or ignore it. What you can’t do is tell them to shut up!
Islam, IMHO however, has major tenets that are patently unconstitutional. No more of its adherents should be allowed to immigrate into the United States. Those Muslims already here should have their politiical activities proscribed.

Kind of interesting on the same day that the Escondido, California City Council voted unanimously to put the religious icon of an obscure Shinto cult (aka: a “peace pole”) in the courtyard at city hall. Apparently intermixing church and state is okay as long as the church isn't Christian.
