Yeah, right. Your head would explode and every other christian conservative would be going apeship. It's only cool when it's your cult. How about public officials keep their religion in their home or church..By specifying a religion, it does nothing but alienate those not apart of that faith. Elected officials are not private citizens.
That statement alone proves that you have no credibility whatsoever, you can't explain it and it's clearly just your opinion.
This is utter nonsense..Which god, who's god? Perry specified the christian cults god. God is imaginary which is why the founders wanted all religion out of government. It only serves to delude people.
Ya, that is why they had church services in the House Chamber, every Sunday, for 2 centuries.
It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.
Brush up on USA history, before trying to rewrite it, please.
Elected officials are not private citizens. Try again.
No? Just take a look at all the "Weiner threads" and catch up on all the "private life" arguments you Left Hand Nuts have been dishing up in his defense.

Just as people have a right to gather and protest so should people have a right to gather and pray.

If you want to argue at least try to prove your point instead of just throwing around opinions.
