Atheists, secularists interrupt Christian prayer at Supreme Court

Atheists not only want to ban prayer inside government, but also block prayer outside the government - or so they expressed via their actions on the steps the Supreme Court during the Town of Greece v. Galloway case.

The Christian Defense Coalition (CDC) and Faith and Action sponsored a prayer vigil at the Supreme Court for "religion freedom" in reaction to the case and in support Christian prayer. During the vigil, self-professed atheists, humanists and secularists repeatedly interrupted Biblical readings and prayers.

The Supreme Court heard the controversial Town of Greece v. Galloway argument on Nov. 6. The case questioned whether explicitly Christian prayer is allowable during government meetings.

While atheists labeled Christianity as "mythology" and yelled, "God does not exist!" at him, CDC's Rev. Patrick Mahoney prayed and expressed his own opinion. Mahoney stressed, "The court opens with prayer. The building across the street, the United States Capitol, opens in prayer. Our position is simple. Everyone should be allowed to express their faith values and views free from government interference or harassment."

The prayer vigil event invite read, "This case will have a major impact on Christian expressions of faith in the public square for the next generation." They continued, "We cannot be silent on the issue of religious freedom and through prayer we can see God shift and shape history!"

While media covered the Supreme Court opinions closely, the protests outside the court have yet to gain coverage.

Christians are supposed to be tolerant to atheists - but not vice versa. Atheists are more than eager to ban any and all public expressions of faith - apparently this bothers them very much.

One has to wonder, why atheists tolerate Muslims using them against christianity? usually, so far I've seen, secularists and atheists are far more tolerant to Islam than to Christianity and Judaism. Is there some connection here, possibly spearheaded by the Obamazombies?

God and His teachings are the very the foundation of justice, peace, unity and harmony. Atheism and Secularist is the foundation of disintegration, chaos, war and destruction.

In All our undertakings, Man is not capable of doing good if he disregards God Who is Good... There is no good judgment in man without invoking the goodness of GOD... If God is prevented in all places then it would mean that Satan is winning... in this world. Our fight will intensify, but God is all powerful

Atheists know they'll have an easy time in the court of the either stupid or complicit ally of Obama, John Roberts. A traitor and as responsible for the chaos surrounding the Lucifercare evil as is his friend.

...it’s quite simple...to them, the god they don’t believe in is more omnipotent than the One we do believe in...

...their god is simply themselves..,all being exists as a result of their reason and intellect...or lack of same...

“One has to wonder, why atheists tolerate Muslims using them against Christianity?”

“Usually, so far I’ve seen, secularists and atheists are far more tolerant to Islam than to Christianity and Judaism.”

Or, why do muzzies allow atheists to defend them against imaginary “Islamophobia”? Either way, the question needs to be widely debated. My opinion is that the secular Left uses Islam as a convenient battering ram against traditional Christianity, which both groups loathe & despise.

Yes, Virginia, there is an Islamo-Left.

You’re only interrupted if you allow it.

It isn’t that atheists don’t believe in God, it’s more like they reject God. Big difference.

Satan pulls the strings of his marionettes and they think they are speaking their own thoughts.

If they did not beleive in God they would simply ignore God’s existance. My guess isthat they serve someone else ~ and I am not referring to reason and intellect.

These people are more acurately labeled as secular humanists. I know real athiests and they don’t care a whit about God or the fact that other people beleive in God.
