Then the article SHOULD say. Clergy given personal invitations to attend the ceremony, but they will attend in their role of First Responders. Wow. How hard is that.
You’re acting like this is about this one guy. It’s not. It’s about keeping prayer and GOD out of these ceremonies.
cler·gy/ˈklərjē/
Noun: The body of all people ordained for religious duties, esp. in the Christian Church.
It's not about this one guy. They're not including clergy in this memorial. Just like the headline says.
Oh crap. Sorry. What the heck do I know anyway.....
Bloomberg thinks he can exclude God?
The fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God.”
Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’
5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes.”
Job 42:1-6 (NIV)
A plague of boils should suffice.
I should have kept my post. How do I delete it? Many here have actually lost loved ones over the last 10 years and deserve better than what I wrote. Please forgive me.
Hit abuse on your own post and ask the mod to delete it, and they probably will.
But, hey, don’t sweat it. These are emotional times.
Knowing Bloomberg’s brilliant cultural mind, I guess we can expect a Rod McKuen poem to be read. Or may that Soviet hack, Yevteshanko, or whatever his name was. Better yet, Maya Angelou.
They fast track the Ground Zero Mosque calling all who oppose it “bigots” and “intolerant” - even though the mosque is offensive to just about everyone.
But they won’t allow clergy because a handful of people might be offended?
How do these people keep getting elected?
Why am I unemployed?
Exactly why should mayor bloomberg be in charge of a memorial service?
Secular progressives will never beat people who believe they are fighting for their God (Allah); there is no place in the world where secularism is beating Islam.
“The NYFD should boycott this ceremony and have their own.”

As I understand it, they will not have to boycott since they are not invited to attend.

You can’t read.
Bloomberg’s soul belongs to his money and the Saudis.
