Moran Fundies in Indiana pray at the Statehouse...

[Contrary1]

Now, keep in mind that the new ruling doesn't prohibit prayer, as it should have; just that they are no longer allowed to invoke the name of Jesus.

"A judge’s ruling that bars the Indiana House of Representatives from invoking the name Jesus didn’t keep about 30 people from gathering in the Statehouse rotunda this morning to pray.

In fact, the ruling motivated them.
Sitting in blue chairs in the marble rotunda, people began the prayer session at 10 a.m. by chanting “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” The group got louder as different church leaders stood behind a podium, their shouts of praise echoing throughout the Statehouse.

"We’re not here to rail on the judge or anyone. We’re not here to do that,” she said. “We’re here to make our appeal the God of the whole earth. That is why we are here.”

Yeah, right.

1. If they are so faithful, why don't they put on their miner's hats and go

to West Virginia? I'm sure that the same god they worship will keep them safe and secure.

Just replace the word "Jesus" with the word "Zeus" and step back and marvel. Yes, it's the 21st century.

3. Except Zeus-worshippers don't care if you want

to worship Athena or Apollo or Mithridates or even the Judeo-Christian God. It's the monotheists that insist that everyone else is wrong.

It sounds like "praise" to me...
