Nebraska Pastor's State Senate Prayer
Pushes Some Lawmakers' Buttons
By Mary Rettig from Agape Press
The Pastor dared to ask forgiveness for the abortions performed in this country and for "teaching our children the religion of evolution, which really does tell us [its version of] where we came from and why we're here and where we're going, just as the Bible does. It's a competing philosophy of life."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First: pastors, preachers, & priests can no longer pray "in Jesus' name" and now they must stay away from "controversial" subjects~~just on the off chance they might offend anyone or try to sway anyone's vote.......
Seems like to me, these are grown men and women and they should be able to "think" for themselves and vote they way they want. If you are so easily swayed by anyone or anything, what the heck are you doing in a job that requires you to take a stand? Oops, they don't take stands anymore....do they? Too wishy-washy....too compromising....too shallow....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now: "Senator Ernie Chambers claims he was 'enraged' by Swartley's prayer, although he says he makes a point not to be present during the legislative body's invocation. Since the incident, Chambers has renewed his calls to get rid of the morning prayer altogether."
~~~~~~~~~~~
One offended Senator is calling for ALL Senators to give up their right to pray publicly.
Just as it is Senator Chambers' right NOT to pray, I hope (and pray!) that the Senators in Nebraska will stand firm FOR their right TO pray.
Ernie can continue to wait in the coat closet for a few minutes until the prayer is finished....this way, the praying Senators are not discriminated against either.
Ultimately, it is good to understand Ernie's (and others') goal : to so tie the hands of every preacher, priest, & pastor that they cannot effectively pray for anyone, anything, anywhere.
In essence, to kill religion. All religion. To kill God again since His first death declared back in the 60's (or early 70's????) didn't "take".
Christians, it is time to unite again and fight for your rights~~whether in the Nebraska Senate or the United States government.
