"Both the Racine County Board and Congress say a prayer before their meetings, Maack said." He alludes to the largest collection of professional criminals in the nation as a model? Ha ha ha.
Personally, I think that prayer before betraying the public trust is a good thing. Such hypocrisy adds the spiritual texture of blasphemy to the proceedings and invites divine retribution against those taking part. I suggest that the public confessing of sins also be added to every meeting.
Don't forget to include some Muslim and Buddhist prayers, too, or there will just be another lawsuit against the city.

They should consider it. And the first prayer should be for the divine intervention to get them out of town before people open up their tax bill this month.
I MIGHT almost support it if that public airing of sins was included...might be fun enough to overlook that whole religion in government thing!
I've been in situations where a sneaky, inappropriate prayer was introduced.
When I go to a church for a wedding or a funeral, I'm prepared to sit there and feel like a heathen while those around me pray. I don't begrudge anyone their religion. I've even been known to pray on occasion.
It really makes me hot under the collar though when I'm at a work meeting or some other social event and someone stands up, certain they have chosen the right god and are ready to save us all from damnation.
There is one prayer that I think even an atheist would even be comfortable with....The Sheppard Prayer*. "Oh Lord. Please don't let me fuck up now."
AA,great tune from Janis Joplin.
