Prayers, of all things, are the most useless, silly, unproductive thing you can do with your time. And yet there they are in a City Council meeting, praying a Christian prayer.

You know why the PTB want to force religion on us? So, they can control and manipulate us. Christianity and a god are cited more often to force people to do what they are told then to help someone.

Behave yourself and do what the filthy rich want you to do or god will get you. Have those babies against your will so we have a never ending source of cheap labor and soldiers. Don't have the kind of sex we disapprove of or you might just start doing what you want and not what the rich and powerful, or Jesus, wants

Freedom from Religion is true freedom. You have to have freedom FROM religion to have freedom OF religion.
