Since New York City is 25 percent Jewish, those who live here are sensitive to this issue and do not usually lead prayer in the name of Jesus at public events. But I have found that out-of-towners think nothing of it, and I know Jewish conservatives are offended when this happens.

I don’t know what the right answer is. If we worried about offending the atheists, we wouldn’t be able to pray at meetings at all. But a prayer that isn’t specifically Christian at least can include believers of other faiths.

if we give up christian prayer, we are screwed. America has been putting the middle finger up at the REAL higher power. But heres the thing, it works both ways.

Jews and Muslims are free to do whatever they want to do, but they will always have to live with Christ as sort of a roommate in the USA. thats not for me to work out for them
