Who gives a damn if someone or a group wants to pray, let them say a prayer, it surely wouldn't bother me and I am not a real big fan of religion or GODs but who does it offend?
Many posters say abide by the law because its funded by tax payers and all I have say is my TAXES support illegal citizens to come here and have babies and healthcare at my expense not to mention the criminals in prison who are fed, showered, and can studt law and come out suing the same system that put the scum there!

SAY A PRAYER, it doesn't hurt!

The seniors can still pray, they just can't force others to pray with them.

While that might feed the stereotype, I don't think the Christians were forcing the others to pray with them.

Which stereotype? The habit of religion being used for political grandstanding?

OK Kev - now's your chance to tell us EXACTLY how are YOU going to be "subjected" to these old folks views on God if by some chance they WANTED TO PRAY TOGETHER??? How Kev?

They way I read it - all of them, want to pray - no one there is going to be "subjected to something" they don't want

Lets get real folks - how much more stupid can this get???

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!

You're kidding with the first video, right? A McCain campaign ad? Can we spell S.P.I.N.??

The next two videos do not support your implication that there are masses of Americans who have deified Pres. Obama. Two people, two opinions do not equal masses of believers.

No, facts to support:

None of the residents complained about praying and I bet they ALL participate in the ritual.

It was the busy-bodies (I'm sure leftists), who noticed the prayer and decided to butt in where they don't belong.
You are interjecting what you would like to believe to be true into the discussion. You have no knowledge of how all of the seniors feel about praying before a meal. You also have no knowledge of who, if anyone, noticed or complained about the practice of praying before meals.

As I said, come back when you can post about facts, not wishful thinking.
