I think its simple folks. This Satanic invocation was just making a point. What its like to have to listen to something you don't believe in a venue thats inappropiate. Of course christians don't care about this. They need an audience to express their beliefs. True, maybe technically prayer can be said at these things. But how about respecting other beliefs? You got christian apologist Lars all over these discussion boards all but saying that CHRISTIAN prayer is not only allowed but needed. He'd be singing a different tune if it was Atheists, Muslims, Hindu's, Buddhists, etc etc. A government assembly meeting is not the place for public prayers. These people are on the clock. There to do a job not be in church.
