So then every person in attendance must be given the opportunity to lead a prayer or a mantra chant or a rain dance before the meeting starts or that would be a denial of freedom to all those people.I have been to tons of public meetings. Some open the meeting with a prayer. Some do not. Never--not once--have I seen or heard of someone interrupting the business part of the meeting once the agenda is introduced--immediately after the prayer. Had it been, someone would have noted that person was "out of order".Tell me do you think that not allowing every person in the hall during a public meeting to lead a prayer or a mantra or a rain dance while everyone else is waiting for the meeting to actually begin taking away freedom from all those people?
Guess what, the exact same procedure is followed in Bible Study or a Parish Meeting. It opens with a prayer, but never have I been present--or heard of--someone (not even the priest) suddenly go off agenda and start a prayer. Even at church meetings the prayer doesn't last longer than a minute.
When have you ever been delayed any longer than 25 seconds.
I am through with this. Keep knocking away at freedoms, You are not alone.
