"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."
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.vie..."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."
http://conservativewatchnews.org/?p=2244...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.
