Jesus' unconstitutional? The Nation doth protest too much!

"Jesus' name ruled 'unconstitutional'... Judge says prayers to Christ 'do violence to America's pluralistic, inclusive values' ...Furthermore, wrote Judge James Harvie Wilkinson III in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals majority opinion, legislative invocations offered in Jesus' name are inherently "sectarian" and thus should be censored lest they make some attendees feel "uncomfortable, unwelcome and unwilling to participate in … public affairs."

"America's founders opened public meetings with prayer; this county simply wants to allow its citizens to do the same," said ADF Senior Counsel David Cortman in a statement. "We trust the U.S. Supreme Court will want to review this case because of the long history in America of offering prayers before public meetings. Public officials shouldn't be coerced into censoring the prayers of those invited to offer them just because secularist groups don't like people praying according to their own conscience."

Well I must admit that the Name of Jesus is powerful and able to make anyone feel uncomfortable... that is anyone trying to escape is future reign. Interesting that people don't have a problem with Allah... if they did the nation would fear another killing in his name no less! What is it about the Name of Jesus that gets folks worked up?

I think it is the effect it has in changing people's lives... religion is pretty much a crock, but the name of God really rocks people into a frenzy... I guess they couldn't erase it (Jesus' Name) from the history books... they couldn't bastardize it with fictitious and ridiculous works like the The Da Vinci Code... so they just have to make laws against using it in public prayer??? Seriously!

The 'Nation' doth protest too much, methinks.

6 months ago: I am ashamed to say, but this nation is running scared. A country that was founded on the Bible is now afraid of the Name of Jesus.

Sure the society is now more pluralistic and inclusive of other people groups and religions and that's fine. However, even though many don't want to admit it, this country was founded on biblical principles.

The federal government, while not endorsing a specific religion, has always until now, recognized the church as a very important part of governing the people and prayer was seen as not only relevant but quite necessary to the running of a country.

My how things have fallen.

Slamming sermon on Church and Government.
6 months ago: Thanks Huey...

That is a very relevant message for today!
6 months ago: You think Judge James Harvie Wilkinson III in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has enough huevoes to say the same regarding Allah?
6 months ago: Nope.
6 months ago: Jesus' exclusivity outright scares a lot of people. Most of the liberals don't want to deal with the ramifications of His teaching, yet they want to quote Him when it's convenient to their cause.

Conservatives do this from time to time, but at least they are not ashamed of the Gospel.

Most liberals would rather Jesus just go away and leave them alone. But guess what? That's not going to happen.

Most would rather deal with spritually weak and non-threatening figures like Buddha, Gandhi and Oprah. That way they can live any old raggedy lifestyle they want to and have no ultimate accountability outside of themselves. Living a lie is what that amounts to.
6 months ago: That is so funny...Buddha, Gandhi and OPRAH...

He is the one who sets the mood of a Country.
Seems as if Government has gotten away from that.

We're lucky. It's too bad those that mock and ridicule don't get it.
The doubters haven't even tried to learn anything in all this time.
