How are they excluded? It’s not like the meetings are for Christians only. Like it or not, we inherited and are, a Christian nation.
To: Center2Right
It should be an easy decision:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. There is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. The liberals made that up. The government, on the other hand, is prohibited from ruling against the practice of religion.

On one hand, noting that such power is now limited by the 14th Amendment, the states have the 10th Amendment-protected power to authorize religion-related things like Christian prayers being said at town meetings.
On the other hand, if this issue concerns Christian prayer, doesn’t Matthew 6:5-7 show that Jesus taught his disciples to pray in secret?
To: Center2Right
Why is this even a Federal matter ?
Might as well take the U.S. Senate to the Supremes.

The story makes it seem as if the town’s policy is that only Christian prayers are permitted. In fact, anyone can volunteer to offer a prayer and no one has ever been turned down. Oral arguments are on Wednesday.

“The government, on the other hand, is prohibited from ruling against the practice of religion.”
...which was the original intent. Roughly half the colonies had state religions, and they were concerned that the Feds will tell them they weren’t allowed to have them.

Funny thing is, the far left’s favorite religious icon, the “Peace Pole”, part of the missionary outreach program of the Byako church, is permitted on municipal property, while the religious icon that other group of missionaries took to Hawaii isn’t.

Thanks Center2Right. Greece is a well-to-do suburb of Rochester, 3rd largest city in NY state.
