Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Mayor Bans 'Jesus' from Council Meetings



The name of Jesus Christ is no longer allowed at city council meetings in Longview, Washington.

Area ministers are typically invited to pray before council meetings, but Mayor Don Jensen has now advised them not to use Jesus's name in those prayers because it could expose the city to lawsuits.

Baptist Pastor Mark Schmutz is president of the Ministerial Association.

Schmutz responded on behalf of the pastors, saying if ministers can't speak the name Jesus Christ, they will no longer provide the meetings invocations because "this is the one and only true God."

At least one atheist, Dan Smith, has complained about the prayers. Smith calls himself a "very comfortable atheist."

Well, he's very comfortably correct. Religion is not suppose to be in any government activity, being secular, but these fake Christians want to force their junk churchianity on everybody and in turn it makes real Christianity look bad to those who are ignorant of what is really going on.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, that 1st ammendment clause concerning religion really means that the government should not be nosing in on other people's religions et al? To be frank, I don't recall any of this verbals going on during early America's days(when the Constitution was being enforced properly).

There are some aspects of the US Constitutions that I am still trying to grasp, to be honest, and this is one of them.

Exactly. Government isn't suppose to meddle in the public's choice of religion, unless of course it violates laws of violence, etc.

There is no place in the Constitution that allows government to be involved in religion. It's a secular entity, and so is the Constitution. Consider when this country started meddling with such things as education, etc. All those things are rather new compared to the country's age. It use to be none of those type "agencies" existed in government, as it was left to the states to decide how to handle education, etc.
