City Council Takes Stand on Prayer Fight

With the bow of their heads and a collective "Amen," the Memphis City Council seemed to be calling the Atheists' bluff.

FINALLY the City Council got something right! And would those two boys, "Regionstink" & "Golden Aint", just get a room already?

Guess what other political leader of the past was a Christian and ruled his country based on his religious beliefs. . . If you said Hitler, then you'd be right! @Raptor, I can quote God too, but I'll use actual quotes instead. "Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." -God,(Psalm 137:9). Here's another fun one:"Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse."- God (1 Peter 2:18). Nope, I can't see any reason why we should run our government based on these great teachings. . .

GoldenTaint's messiah is in the whitehouse. If hussein was my messiah I'd have a total lack of faith as well. LMAO @ liberals

Dear God, Why do you allow all these killings in our schools? "Because I'm not allowed in school." - God

No, Mr. Collins. They don't want attention, they want you to do your job and abide by the constitution like an adult and elected official who represents all Memphians, regardless of their religion. If prayer is the answer to all our problems, then why do we still have problems? Why does Mr. Collins take himself and his family to see a doctor when they are ill or injured?? Must be a lack of actual faith. I've got to get out of the south. . .

not surprising in a superstitious third-world enclave such as Memfrica
