 AtlLiberal says: Well, it seems that Hindus have overtaken our "Christian Country" and invaded the Senate. Where was homeland security? Why wasn't Bush there wearing his signature codpiece to vanquish the heathens and declare mission accomplished. OH, I'm so disappointed. An embarrassment to our country, let alone a travesty that religion is even intertwined in our government politics. And most of our founding fathers had nothing but ill to say about christianity. And most of our founding fathers had nothing but ill to say about christianity.While some did indeed regard the form of christianity practiced at that time with distain there was also a segment who held more traditional views. But the personal beliefs of the founders (contrary to the claims of present day christians) is irrelevent. The important thing to remember is their [the founders] insistance of having government and religion separate. This short clip highlights the hypocracy of the religious right whenever they claim that their agenda is not to promote christianity but some sort of homogenized religious blending. This of courses is patently false. They want christi... It will help solve all the problemes indeed. All those Heathens shall be gone along with those liberals, free speech, enviornmental concern, non-monopolized business, and the worst of all sins free-will, and you and all your kind shall be thrown to the lake of fire, with all those evils like those books of magic, Harry Potter, Common Sense, the unrewriten US Constitution, Shackspear (never did understand any of that crap), Beer, Food with taste Sweets, and that pridful thinking thing you do. Burn in Hell all of it. Half of these things were yelled at me by a neighbor. Should I be wooried. Half of these things were yelled at me by a neighbor. Should I be wooried.I don't think its an isolated incident, I've heard much the same lately. So yah, we need to worry. These people are finding their way into power. dna last mark - Jesus Christ... Be worried, be VERY worried! "If your brother ... or your daughter, or the spouse whom you embrace, or your most intimate friend, tries to ... seduce you, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' unknow to you or your ancestors before you, gods of the people surrounding you, whether near to you or far away, anywhere throughout the world ... you must not listen to him; you must show no pity, you must not spare him ... No, you must kill him, your hand must stike the first blow in putting him to death and the hands of the rest of the people following. You must stone him to death, since he tried to divert you from Yahweh your God." -Deuteronomy 13:7-11 Be worried, be VERY worried!Indeed! Religionists ability to "cherry pick" the portions that back up their views and ignore the other less savory morsels is legendary. From what I understand, the Senators were in favor of the Hindu chaplain leading the prayer. It's stupid observers that caused the trouble. (for the record, BTW, "heathens" is used primarily for those of the Norse-based religions. "Pagan" is more Western/European. Terminology lesson completed; my job here is done.  Thanks wiccantexan for the info. May I suggest an article in Wikipedia that I found fascinating about the etymology of the term pagan. Check it out here. While it doesn't exactly substantiate your claim it does raise questions that I found interesting.  From what I understand, the Senators were in favor of the HinduExactly right! But I wouldn't count on seeing legislation being proposed that honors the celebration of Rama Navami any time soon.
