15. No... I think I should be able to force the GOVERNMENT to NOT lead a prayer

Come on... even though you believe in a 2000-year-old mythology, you're not too stupid to understand the basic point:

Private citizens: Pray all you want to whatever invisible creature you want

Government: No officially-led prayers. No using taxpayer money on anything religious. Anything.



You can keep setting up your straw men over and over again, and I'll keep knocking them down.


Not a single post by me said ANYTHING at all about an individual not being able to pray to their heart's content. Didn't even imply it.


You want to talk to yourself inside your head, be my guest. You want to do it out loud, that's fine too (unless you're in the library). But don't use my tax dollars to subsidize your superstitions.


Fair enough?

Clear enough?
