Freedom of speech and the freedom to pray to if we so choose. LIKE if you agree that this is still America, land of the free and home of the brave.
And some of the comments:
---
Land of the free as long as you are not gay...... Why can't we pray, have freedom of speech and allow everyone to have the same civil liberties? We are all people and we are all Americans. Ensuring everyone has the same rights makes us stronger as a whole.

The founding fathers were atheists. pick up a history book fuckwads

Yep, this is what God wants. People eating fried chicken to show how much they despise the dreams of homosexuals. It's far better to support this important stand against people you wouldn't even welcome into your house of worship.

Puke! I'm praying (freely) that the mogul never has that esteemed title. If he lead's as good as he carries a tune..we're doomed. Like if you agree.

Are they praying for a cure for Type 2 diabetes?

The prayer of the Pharisee, Luke 18:11-12
I guess the Pharisees couldn't have been Republican ... they ARE crooks, evildoers, and adulterers!
They aren't so good about giving a tenth of what they receive or rendering under to Caesar that which is Caesar's ....
oh, my.
But Republicans appear to lay claim to Christianity ... too bad the faith isn't based on a single verse in Leviticus.

(39,215 posts)prayer ban ended is the right for someone else to force me to pray - someone like a 3rd grade teacher - who in my case forced our class to pray for Joseph McCarthy after he died. That was when I started hating prayer in schools. My family was giving thanks for getting rid of him.

I think this whole Chick-Fillet thing is starting to backlash on them. I noticed an outlet today that had the message "Locally owned and operated" in huge letters on their sign ( it was never there before)-like they're trying to distance themselves from the corporate image.
