MUNCIE, Ind. — For the past decade, the Rev. William Keller has stood on the broad steps of City Hall on the first Thursday in May — with city officials, local judges and a police chaplain at his side — to pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

He planned to mark the National Day of Prayer the same way this year: A welcome from the mayor, a fervent plea that God guide civic leaders to act wisely, an echoing choir of “Amen” from the crowd of several hundred gathered in the noon sun.

I wish I could have posted a news story about this, instead of something from the LA Times, but here it is. I will be interested to read your trenchant comments.

Liberals are real pieces of work. They whine about the National Day of Prayer not being inclusive enough, yet the Left hardly has any political diversity in the universities, media, and government schools.

What, no Raelians? No Amish? No Faithists?

This event is definitely non-inclusive. Contact the ACLU immediately.

. . .time to establish the fact that Marxism is a religion.
