      Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.

        I would start invoicing people for your time until you get a legal cease and desist. Then sue them, just because they accepted responsibility.

        Make it cost them money.

        You could counter with a Baha’i prayer. They are still an Abrahamic religion, and they have literally hundreds of prayers for practically every topic.

        The SCOTUS precedent

        Don’t worry they don’t believe in Precedent anymore. You just need to grease their wheels. I hear it’s cheaper than you think.

          It’s relatively cheap for their masters, but they won’t buck the leash that got them into their position

      The worst part is that for the people making these policies it really isn’t religious, just a thing they can trick followers with.
