So now there's also a "post-inaugural prayer service at National Cathedral"...
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nbcnews.com/50548092/
...the Obamas and the Bidens are attending.
The praying and the god-bothering just go on and on, don't they?
Hey, I'm happy that Obama won. I didn't get so worked up about all of the religious trappings that I shut off my TV or anything melodramatic like that. I mostly very happy with Obama's inaugural speech.
I'm ****ing delirious that it wasn't Romney up there giving a speech.
But if anyone can't see how the heavy ceremonial emphasis on religion, especially Christian religion, is a smack in the face of separation of church and state, can't see that it marginalizes non-believers, that "It's the President's day!" only excuses so much for what is also a day (or two, apparently) that belongs in large part to the public... that strikes me as a bit of willful blindness.
There aren't just a few nods to believers here and there, there isn't just a bit of the President making his own faith part of the proceedings -- the whole inaugural process is steeped in religious invocations and religious symbolism and religious ritual.
Don't let me forget to close with: "God bless you all! God bless the United States of America!"
Prayer in a CATHEDRAL? Geez, next thing you know, people will be crapping in toilets and sleeping in beds! (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022238370)

6. K&R There are no phonier words to me than "God bless the USA!"
How about, "I'm a Democrat and I'm dying to get to work today!"

16. Just another way for our elected leaders to divorce themselves from governing.

God is control, after all.
Take the wheel, Jesus. We're tired of driving.
Hey, you guys call 0bummer your Lord and Savior. Maybe they were at the Cathedral praying to HIM.

If only they would let Jesus take the wheel, if only. There wouldn't be so much crap like there is now.

It is such a horrible thing that they have done after every inauguration since George Washington. :mental:

forestpathetic hates God so much that the DUmmie purposely went on food stamps to avoid handling currency embossed with "In God We Trust" on its surface.

Jesus has been driving for quite awhile now......unfortunately he's not from Mexico but from Kenya.

Because there seems to be some confusion:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
Got it? Nothing in there about separation of church and state. There's damned sure nothing about a president having to stop practicing (or, in Obama's case, pretending to practice) their religion to spare your little feelings. So, I'm going to be as Christian as I can to you DUmmies and tell you to ESAD.

Remember the Bush years, when they wanted people JAILED in FEDERAL PRISON for "violation of separation of church and state"?

Water under the bridge. Maybe he'll do one this year! O-)

It didn't go as well as Silent3 was perhaps expecting. Who else is tired of the word "marginalized?" I'm a victim! I'm a victim!

I like the butthurt reference Banned, please correct me if I am wrong but did not the Cathedral recently allow Gay marrage if the partners could afford it ?????
Just waiting for a Gay Satanest couple demand to be be married in a Southern Baptist Church.
Watch as the Churces are tax exempt the Liberals will insist the Churches serve the public, all people of any faith or without faith.
Loop hole will be the Muslim temples that are considered Culture Centers and can put in place any law they wish. Much like the Lodges that can refuse membership to outsiders,.
We are headed for a wild ride here. Put on your safty belt and a hard hat, going to be bumpy and most interesting.
