[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The chaplain of the United States Senate opens each session of the United States Senate with a prayer, and provides and coordinates religious programs and pastoral care support for senators, their staffs, and their families.

Why is this ok but a poster of the 10 commandments not?[/quote]

Well since you asked, it is NOT ok. I hope this helps.[/quote]

It is ok. That’s how it works. It’s not ok with you, but you aren’t in charge of anything. The people in charge allow Senate prayer and a Senate chaplain. The president holds prayer breakfasts that taxpayers pay for.[/quote]

But Congress also brought in Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists and others of non-Christian faiths as well as non-religious secular leaders for breakfasts and to open Congressional sessions.  They don't make it exclusively denominational to any particular religion or belief, such as Christian, and that is in holding with prior Supreme Court decisions.  That doesn't appear to be the case with Louisiana.  [/quote]

So taxpayers are paying for everyone’s religious freedom, but don’t dare put a copy of the 10 commandments in a classroom.

Yes.   One of those things is part of our constitution and one of those things is not.  It is such an important difference.[/quote]

What difference? It’s all religious freedom and all taxpayer funded. No difference. None.[/quote]
