Atheists Sue to Get Prayer, God Out of Obama's Swearing-In

I don't see the point. I have never seen the point for lawsuits to push someone's belief off on another. I'm fine if people want to be atheists. I think when they go for these lawsuits which try to cram their point of view down my throat then they've stepped over the line. They're free not to pray. They're free to insert "human" in the place of God in their minds if they want. However, for them to try and take away my rights to pray if I want is over the line.

I believe it's a way for these people to feel important. They have a cause and it gives their life meaning. If the President-elect WANTS to pray, more power to him. To have some group force him NOT to pray is wrong.

I know the arguments from the atheists side. I've heard it all. I know why we can no longer pray in school. I know that the minority is forcing their point of view on the majority (again and again), and that, too, is wrong.

I figure, just like the suing folks are probably figuring, that sooner or later someone is going to agree with them and we will no longer be a free country. I'm hoping and praying that the Obama administration isn't the one that will fill the Supreme Court with the kind of justices that will bend to the false premises put forth by the atheists and friends.

A group of atheists, led by a California man known for challenging the use of the words "under God" in recitals of the Pledge of Allegiance at public schools, filed a lawsuit yesterday to bar prayer and references to God at the swearing-in of President-elect Barack Obama.

Judge Character by Friends Unless it's Barack Obama

Most of us grew up hearing our parents tell us to be careful who we chose to associate with and who we chose as our friends. They told us people judge us by who we choose to hang around with and the choices we made in life.

Now, as adults, Barack Obama is telling us that it doesn't matter who he has chosen to hang around with his entire adult life.

We are to judge him by what he says, not by what he does or has done.

He won't share any information from his college days.

He discounts a 20 year church relationship.

He plays down his involvement with ACORN.

Who is he going to choose to staff his Cabinet if elected? His friends?

Who is he going to choose to appoint for the Supreme Court?

Where is he going to turn for advice?

He will be able to do anything he wants once he is in the White House as he'll have a Democratic House and Senate. We will no longer have a system of checks and balances.

What happens when he co-opts the Supreme Court, too?
