How sick is our society?

Killing babies=Constitutional

Mentioning the basis of your religion=Unconstitutional

[Just mythoughts]

"Really? I thought it was faith in Christ that made us Christians."

Really? How does one demonstrate one's 'faith' if one does not pray in the name of Christ?

[Just mythoughts]

"If you say, "Bless this food in the name of Christ" you are alienating non-Christians.
But if you say, "Bless this food in the name of God," a Jewish person can say, "Amen.""

Guess I missed that Bible lesson that said prayers are heard and answered based upon the number of "Amens". Christians are NOT second class citizens required to masked their Christianity so as to not alienate. Following your standard Christ is not a requirement in Christianity.

DIVINE PRAISES

Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy. Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her Glorious Assumption. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.

"The reason being, you try and make as many people included as possible so that nobody feels that they're being left out of any particular prayer."

Since the speaker of this quote mentioned the Supreme Court, which supposedly issues judgments related to the US Constitution, I checked the on-line copy of said document at the Constitution Society. I have to tell you, I didn't see any reference to a requirement for such "inclusiveness".

There was no mention of it at all. There was an amendment related to rights not specifically enumerated in the document being retained by the people. One might presume that those rights would include the rights of those called upon to offer prayers in a public setting to pray in the manner their faith and conscience dictates.
