New Jersey Atheist Protest Halts Town Council Meeting Prayers
Holy Jesus, those Atheists are at it again! I mean…. Holy Science…I mean, Secular Science, well, nevermind.
A New Jersey town council meeting with a 55 year old tradition of starting off with a recital of the Lord’s Prayer is now being protested by a dude who actually believes in something as wonderfully American as Separation of Church and State. My biggest concern is why someone wants to go to a boring meeting to discuss the pink flamingos in someone’s yard or squirrels eating electric cables.
All Christians will tell you that we should ignore such a calling because the real Atheists agenda includes staying home on Sunday, being grumpy, and bitterly lashing out at children:
Rightfully so, they refuse to give up their ritual of reciting SOMETHING at the meetings:
While the Lord’s Prayer tradition has officially ended in Newton, the council has informally agreed to start reciting secular invocations prior to its meetings, said Unhoch, who was pleased that the tradition of a prayer of some sort will continue.
It should be more P.C….as they say. Here’s my suggestion for the Town Hall of an Atheistic solution to their problem.
The Atheist’s Invocation (aka.. the euphemism for “Prayer”)
Our undisclosed superstition from somewhere unknown,
irrelevant be your name,
until we find measurable proof of your kingdom,
we scratch our heads to what your will is,
on Earth or in multi-dimensional spacetime.
Today we’ll probably eat something.
Forgive me my lack of common sense in this town hall meeting,
as we feel more important than those who lack even more common sense.
May science allow us to live forever,
and circumvent our totally unimportant death.
[For science, my material goods, and neglected emotional well-being, now and forever. ]
