No "Jesus" at Obama's Inauguration Prayer? Lawsuit Filed!

Following the outcry by Gay Activists over President-Elect Obama's decision to invite Pastor Rick Warren author of the best-selling book "Purpose Driven Life" to perform the Inauguration Prayer, a lawsuit has now been filed to keep the word "Jesus" from being mentioned during the event.

Apparently use of the name of "Jesus" could cause more ire as some people don't want a religious type of prayer invoked during the Inauguration Ceremony.

The suit was filed by Dan Barker, leader of the Atheist group "Freedom from Religion" claiming that the use of the word "Jesus" or any type of Religion would be a violation of his Constitutional Rights.

In fact Barker has enjoined with Michael Newdow who previously fought to have the phrase "Under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance, in a Federal lawsuit seeking "to stop prayer and religious rituals at all governmental functions, especially at the Inauguration," Barker told FOX News Radio.

Warren when asked his opinion on such measures being taken to possibly disrupt the Prayer his spokesperson released this statement to the Associated Press, "I'm a Christian Pastor so I will pray the only kind of Prayer I know how to pray."

In addition he added, "Prayers are not to be sermons, speeches, position statements nor political posturing. They are humble, personal appeals to God."

Similar controversy occurred regarding the prayer at President George W. Bush's 2001 Inauguration ceremony, when the Rev. Franklin Graham and Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell were both criticized for mentioning the name of Jesus Christ. A lawsuit was also filed.

The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a Methodist Civil Rights leader invited by Obama to give the Benediction states, "Pastor Warren should be allowed to remain true to his Faith".

It appears as by filing this lawsuit both Barker and Newdow are trying to force everyone else in America to believe as they do, which is in itself a violation of OUR RIGHTS.

Dudes if mentioning the name of Jesus bothers you that much then I have a simple solution to resolve this entire issue: JUST DON'T ATTEND THE CEREMONY and don't watch it on T.V.!

Man, I wonder what some people use for brains.
