An Abomination....Absolutely

Three people were arrested for interrupting the guest chaplain's prayer to open the Senate. They found it to be an abomination that a Hindu Chaplain offered the beginning invocation.

The only abomination is that these fundamentalists were allowed to ruin Rajan Zed's day. Can anyone say American Taliban? (watch the debacle here).

Honestly, how many times do we have to explain to these zealots that we are a nation founded not on "christian" principles but on the premise that we have freedom from a state Church; we have freedom to worship the God of our choosing; and that choice of which God to worship is between no one but us and our God? Chaplain Zed's prayer is exactly the kind of tolerance our Founding Fathers had in mind.

Oh and while I'm at it, I really think Jesus is embarrassed by you jerkballs. Have a bit of common courtesy--for Christ's sake.
