Ok, as an atheist, I want my turn at the invocation then, Chaplain K.
My copy of the US Constitution says..."Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, unless it involves Jesus and Christianity and
a perfunctory prayer at government meetings by Jews, Mormons, and Muslims
(and the occasional Atheist, just to show how tolerant the government is),
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridge the freedom of
speech... "
I do not understand why the Courts keep insisting on establishing RELIGION,
any religion, in direct contradiction of the US Constitution. I'm with Mr.
Franklin on this one; if god needs such help from the government, he/she
can't be much of an omnipotent god...and further...his/her followers aren't
much help either.

Enjoy (or forgive) my personal celebration for the 11th Circuit Court ruling
in Pelphrey v. Cobb County, restoring sanity to the legislative prayer
process.
Can't we all just take turns?
I Pray In Jesus Name,
Chaplain Klingenschmitt
