I cant believe this happened. Even though not religious I still believe all religions should be resprected. And our government should resprect all religious leaders. This was someone who had been asked to pray. And it is my belief prayer should be private and therefore not opening a meeting of any kind.

That Is some bull. Why Can’t people get along? The Hindu’s have a right to pray as they please. This was to be a historical event, We have freedom of religon In the USA. To some it must only mean Freedom of Christananity. If they are going to pray in congress everyone should be able to pray diffrent. The Hindu paryer sounded very nice and shouldn’t have offended anyone, and the part about Hindus worship meny gods is a little off. Hindus worship meny forms of the One. The same as most Pagans.

wow
first
separation or church and state, remember??
there should not be any praying at all in the senate, not as a part of the normal everyday function anyway.

second
arent christians sooooooo loving like their god teaches??? when did jesus become a god anyway???

“The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ,”

i thought he was the son of god???
ok, im done.

This is outrageous! In a country where Religion and Government are supposedly different…I am ashamed to live in a country that not only oppresses different religions, races, and cultures-but also preaches to others to accept uniqueness….such a hypocritical place….it saddens me so… :’-(

I apologise on behalf of the people I am clustered with - Americans. America was founded on the idea of tolerance of all kinds….but now, I see it was built by prejudice.

More wars have been started over the Christian’s god than for any other reason. The activists today are just fueling the fire for one more war where ever they can fight it. It just so happens that this time it is on American soil not else where in the world. They still think that they have “won” all of the others by “converting” the people of other cultures to their own. I wish that they would all take the log out of thier own eyes than to pick the speck out of someone else’s. There bible even says (summarized) to go out and if they are not welcomed to dust the dirt of the place off of their feet and to turn, walk away, and never look back.

To deny the Senate the privilege of hearing enlightening words, and to deny the American people–including those within Senatorial chambers–the full intent and meaning of the First Amendment, regardless of the faiths of the Founders, is to fly in the face of the entire reason this country was started: freedom.

Who is to say that God is a white Anglo-Saxon Jesus-centered human-anthropomorphic being with two arms and two legs? Why could not God have an aspect–note the word *aspect*–that has several appendages representing the far reach of the Divine, not to mention, say, the elephant head of Ganesha, the blue face of Krishna, or the many-armed, many-legged Goddess Sarasvati, among many others?

You can say “One God,” but ‘God’ means many things to many people.
