[Vision2020] 08-15-05 CNN: Small town may face big bill fromWiccan

[Tom Hansen]

I am perfectly willing to support prayer before each city council session
provided that each (and every) faith in Moscow is provided "equal time".

Barring that possibility, prayer should be removed.

Thoughts?

The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or

petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I don't see anything in there that says they "can't" pray beforehand.... As
a matter of fact I see that it say "prohibiting the free exercise thereof".
I don't see anything that says "except in public buildings".
Seems to me people are free to join in....or not.
