There's no way that praying "establishes" a church
"A Wisconsin-based "religious freedom" group is suing Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a possible Republican presidential contender, in an effort to block his promotion of and participation in an all-day Christian prayer event to be held Aug. 6, arguing that it violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
The Freedom From Religious Foundation, which claims more than 16,000 members, including 700 in Texas, filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday in Houston, contending that Perry’s actions violate the Constitution's Establishment Clause by “giving the appearance that the government prefers evangelical Christian religious beliefs over other religious beliefs and non-beliefs.”
Perry’s office shrugged off news of the lawsuit. "Governor Perry has been looking forward to the Aug. 6 prayer event, which continues to move forward as planned,” Perry’s office said in a written statement. “He believes it will serve as an important opportunity for Americans to gather together and pray to God, seeking his wisdom and guidance as our nation navigates the challenges before it. The pending litigation will not affect plans for the prayer event at this time.”
The event has been described as a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer meeting hosted by the American Family Association at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The website for the event is linked from the governor’s official website and includes a videotaped invitation from Perry.

The Politically Correct Left continually demands equality for all, so how about the atheists organize their own stadium event? It is their right to have their opposing opinion, so let's see them organize it.
I have been praying that a Texas twister hit that event. Let's see if praying works!
Are you praying to the Devil or a demon, as it sounds like a witch's spell
Devils and demons do not exist, silly boy.
One of these days, I am hoping for someone who has been denied the right to practice their religion, to sue the government on those constitutional grounds.
Hmmm... Maybe I am wrong about the existence of devils and demons. They all seem to be employees of Faux news.
Faux Newa, yes I believe I know about them. Their call sign is MSNBC or CNN.
What exactly do they want to proscribe?
The Governor participating as an individual in a prayer event? No way known that will ever happen.
The Governor using his government office and resources from promoting such an event... maybe?
Whats with this bias against christians anyway?
Whats with this bias against atheists anyway?
Devils and demons do exist, although we know them by another name. Leftists. They are truly Satan's children.
If we ever get back to being America again, we should put a bounty on all leftists and atheists. This will serve several important functions. First, it will help alleviate unemployment. Second, it would rid our society of these "useful idiots". Also, it would provide the people with a chance to gather together and have some real fun for a change.
$25. a-head. Bag 'em and bring 'em in!!
Anon558: Are your comments supposed to make me angry? Well, they don't. You want to know why? Because you are a typical right wing cretin who deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. But I won't do that because you are not worth it.
shitfaced libturds do not believe in freedom.
Anon 6:21,.... i don't want to make you angry. I would much rather make you stop existing. You and your fellow leftist trash are a pestilence, a cancer on humanity, one that needs to be cut out. And you will be.
Satan is a card carrying memeber of both the ACLU and SPLC
