Ok, as an atheist, I want my turn at the invocation then, Chaplain K. My copy of the US Constitution says..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, unless it involves Jesus and Christianity and a perfunctory prayer at government meetings by Jews, Mormons, and Muslims (and the occasional Atheist, just to show how tolerant the government is), or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridge the freedom of speech... " I do not understand why the Courts keep insisting on establishing RELIGION, any religion, in direct contradiction of the US Constitution. I'm with Mr. Franklin on this one; if god needs such help from the government, he/she can't be much of an omnipotent god...and further...his/her followers aren't much help either.

Cobb County, restoring sanity to the legislative prayer process. Can't we all just take turns?
