Well, it happened. Satan was allowed to walk his heinous ass into the Senate chamber and babble his nonsense. You can’t say we weren’t warned. Just a few days ago, the good folks from the American Family Association alerted us to the fact that Satan was coming and this time he was going to be dressed like a Hindu.

Send an email to your senator now, expressing your disappointment in the Senate decision to invite a Hindu to open the session with prayer.

On Thursday, a Hindu chaplain from Reno, Nevada, by the name of Rajan Zed is scheduled to deliver the opening prayer in the U.S. Senate. Zed tells the Las Vegas Sun that in his prayer he will likely include references to ancient Hindu scriptures, including Rig Veda, Upanishards, and Bhagavard-Gita. Historians believe it will be the first Hindu prayer ever read at the Senate since it was formed in 1789.


Scary, huh? A Hindu allowed to speak in the Senate. Never thought I would see the day. I always know when shit like this is going down because my anus tingles. It’s like a “Spidey sense,” but it’s my anus and it warns be that there is a threat to Christianity. Anyway, the AFA makes a good point about why Hindus shouldn’t be allowed to speak, in the Senate, or really at all anywhere in America.

WallBuilders president David Barton is questioning why the U.S. government is seeking the invocation of a non-monotheistic god. Barton points out that since Hindus worship multiple gods, the prayer will be completely outside the American paradigm, flying in the face of the American motto "One Nation Under God."

Barton says given the fact that Hindus are a tiny constituency of the American public, he questions the motivation of Senate leaders. "This is not a religion that has produced great things in the world," he observes. "You look at India, you look at Nepal -- there's persecution going in both of those countries that is gendered by the religious belief that is present there, and Hindu dominates in both of those countries."


Well, today was the day. As expected, the Senate bowed their heads to Satan and let the Hindu speak. Thankfully, the AFA had people there to get out their message: Hindon’t!



Yes, they shouted down a religous man of another faith because he was saying a little prayer. It was the first time a Hindu was allowed to deliver the morning invocation and our very own American Taliban clearly scared the shit out of the poor guy. The three protesters were from Operation Save America, who apparently have such weak faith in Jesus that they can’t allow other people to speak different religious beliefs out loud. If you couldn’t hear it, this is what they said:

Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight. This is an abomination. We shall have no other gods before You.


No Lord but Jesus Christ! There's only one true God!


Then, just as Jesus would have done, the brave Christians put out a press release to brag about calling a man from another religion, who was merely speaking words, an "abomination." Jesus was all about bragging, calling people abominations and press releases.

Ante Pavkovic, Kathy Pavkovic, and Kristen Sugar were all arrested in the chambers of the United States Senate as that chamber was violated by a false Hindu god. The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ. This would never have been allowed by our Founding Fathers.

"Not one Senator had the backbone to stand as our Founding Fathers stood. They stood on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! There were three in the audience with the courage to stand and proclaim, 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me.' They were immediately removed from the chambers, arrested, and are in jail now. God bless those who stand for Jesus as we know that He stands for them." Rev. Flip Benham, Director, Operation Save America/Operation Rescue

Couldn't have put it better myself. I am all for religious tolerance even including Christians but this type of shit just bothers the hell out of me.

Difficult to respond this article. It is a pity people like David Barton exist, uneducated about the world around himself, scared of anything that isn't white and corn fed.

Imagine it was three Muslim guys disrupting the Senate to shout down a Christian preacher. Slap on the wrist? Press release? Or burning mosques all over the country while those protesters would be on the first flight to Guantanamo.

I'm no fan of religion, but I do appreciate politeness. It's a shame Jesus told his followers to go out and be such fucked up nasties.

Heh, I love their complete bullshit blabber about the "founding fathers", who were in fact hinted to have been something more of deists or even secular humanists, who believed in an actual separation of church an state, no matter what church that is. Hmmm separation of church and state, didn't I read that somewhere before? Oh yeah, the fucking Constitution stated that. Too bad it seems that the gov't doesn't even give a shit about that either now a days.

As for their also completely bullshit ridden statement belittling Hinduism as "not a religion that has produced great things in the world", I'm sorry, but what good has any of the other religions done except start wars and fuel prejudice? I seem to recall one particular sect that has over the years eradicated millions in such things as Crusades and Inquisitions. And also, who is to say That such-said religion is actually monotheistic, there seem to be lots of demigod like entities know ans "saints" and other such as "angels". I'm done
Fuck it, I could ramble all day and pick apart such pathetic arguments.

Wake up world, time to smell reality and stop wasting your time, and actually live and enjoy life, not squander it away with petty squabbles with fellow human beings about such insignificant differences.

Ok, not to stir the pot, but there isnt even any historical proof outside of religious texts that christ ever existed, except from one small fragment from a jewish traitor/roman scholar. Not to mention most "christians" only quote the passages of the bible that suit them. It says in there it is an abomination to eat pork,shellfish, and all kinds of other food that those self ritious assholes probably eat on a daily basis. Fucking hypocrites... puke

Ah, hypocrisy. Ain't it grand?

And to those nut-balls who think that the founding fathers "stood on the scripture of Jesus Christ," they should read this and shut up.

Oh! Here's another good one!

Treaty of Peace and Friendship, signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796 (3 Ramada I, A. H. 1211), and at Algiers January 3, 1797 (4 Rajab, A. H. 1211). Original in Arabic. Submitted to the Senate May 29, 1797. (Message of May 26, 1797.) Resolution of advice and consent June 7, 1797. Ratified by the United States June 10, 1797. As to the ratification generally, see the notes. Proclaimed Jane 10, 1797.

...

ARTICLE 11.

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

...

The Treaty of Tripoli, passed by the U.S. Senate in 1797, read in part: "The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." The treaty was written during the Washington administration, and sent to the Senate during the Adams administration. It was read aloud to the Senate, and each Senator received a printed copy. This was the 339th time that a recorded vote was required by the Senate, but only the third time a vote was unanimous (the next time was to honor George Washington). There is no record of any debate or dissension on the treaty. It was reprinted in full in three newspapers - two in Philadelphia, one in New York City. There is no record of public outcry or complaint in subsequent editions of the papers.

And if you can't meet a Christian in Holt, Michigan who practices these things, they must not exist anywhere!

"Not one Senator had the backbone to stand as our Founding Fathers stood. They stood on the Gospel of Jesus Christ!



...yah they stood on it so that people could practice whatever religion they wanted and that no one would be persecuted for their beliefs. It's in that constitution thingy they wrote, I'm sure of it.

I for one applaud the Senate for allowing this man to say a prayer. It was a bold move and I for one am kinda amazed they actually did it.

And let me paraphrase a quote by Ghandi that went along the lines of " I like your Christ but not your Christians. Your Christians are not like your Christ,"

I for one follow the teachings of love of man kind that Christ taught. Not the bullshit methods of some nut case that think they are following the teachings of Christ. They should be a good follower and learn a thing or three about theology to really fucking understand what the hell this path they supposedly are on is really about and what this book they follow text really means.
