Supreme Court Upholds Town Prayer
[quote]The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a town in upstate New York did not violate the Constitution by starting its public meetings with a prayer from a “chaplain of the month” who was almost always Christian.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-to-4 decision that divided the court’s more conservative members from its liberal ones, said the prayers were merely ceremonial. They were neither unduly sectarian nor likely to make members of other faiths feel unwelcome.[/quote]
It is surely a coincidence that all of the members of the majority in this case were Catholic and all of non-Christians in the court were in the minority.

I care when you go on about how Atheism is the only intelligent choice or get upset when a small town opens with a prayer. I mean, the government shouldn't tell you what religion to practice. You shouldn't be forced to go to a Church or Synagogue of Mosque if you don't want to. You shouldn't have people shoving their religion down your throats. But, when you're whining about a small (clearly Christian) town opening their town meetings with a prayer, you just need to shut up. It's not like the government is being like: "BE CHRISTIAN OR ELSE!" Or "If you're not Christian, you're not human!" It's a simple (optional) prayer. Suck it up.
