If people don't want to push their religious views on other people, then why cant gays get married?

[thesageofohio]

religion is like a penis

its okay to have one

its okay to be proud of it

but dont take it out in pubic and wave it around

and dont try to force it down my throat.

"doesn't the constitution say that our government is free of religion?"

The constitution says Congress shall make no LAW in regards to religion. It does not say congress can not express religion... This is why I don't like liberals. They don't think things all the way through. Read the constitution and don't analyze it. Read it word for word as it's written.

[evilbunny007]

why do they have to even DO prayer? doesn't the constitution say that our government is free of religion?

the crazy religious right has way too much pull in this country.

Speaking in tongues is gibberish. You're just making up random as sounds(not words) and acting like it means something when really it means absolutely NOTHING. Religion is so fake.

[deangelo17]

We have to find ways to put cultural differences aside and love people for people. Doesnt matter what race, color, size, or religion. The key to solving all the problems of the earth can be put together with one word," LOVE ". Good things come with love that wouldnt have to be asked of a person. Such as caring, sensitivity, sweet, kind, truthful, etc. When you love someone, all these things come along without questioning it. I HOPE MY WORDS CAN HELP OTHER PEOPLE AS MUCH AS OTHERS HAVE HELPED ME

[deangelo17]

I believe that people should say their own prayers to whom they wish and for whoever they wish. As lovely as it sounds for people to thank our Father and Jesus for what they have done for us all on behalf of the world, It wouldnt be good for people to thank false gods on my behalf. Its such a big argument, that it is best to leave it out of public events where the religous backgrounds of the others around isnt known. Great topic, that can get pretty intense as you can see in the video. LOVE IT

Monogamy is a hackneyed tenet of religion and is used by the churches to control property.

The evolution of mammals is only possible with heterosexual relationships.

Why even have non-denominational prayers? What about Atheists in the Senate, any prayer would be "forced" upon them! Just pray at home!

Speaking in tongues? Please, sounds like gibberish to me
