A North Carolina county official said only Christian prayers are welcome before government meetings, even as a federal judge ended invocations in a neighboring county.

Carrol Mitchem, chairman of the Lincoln County board of commissioners, said he does not want people from other faiths “changing rules on the way the United States was founded,” reported the Lincoln Times-News.

“A Muslim? He comes in here to say a prayer, I’m going to tell him to leave,” Mitchem said. “I have no use for (those) people. They don’t need to be here praying to Allah or whoever the hell they pray to. I’m not going to listen to (a) Muslim pray.”

1. These assholes want to make this a choice between Christianity and freedom?

I don't think that's a very wise decision on their part. In all probability they will be very disappointed with the outcome.

People don't want some dork telling them which big bearded dude in the clouds they have to believe in. Or even if they have to believe in one at all.
