Why do you think this country was born on God, Glory and Guts?  Why do people think this country was founded on Christian principles?  Why "Shame on you!"  I don't think it is appropriate for anyone to pray to anything other than our Christian Biblical God, but I don't think it is necessary or even desirable to have invocation before any meeting of a business nature unless it is religious in nature.  I am somewhat confused by your stance about the 501c3 status.  I appreciate your viewpoint and dialog with me.  I value any discussion about the Christian faith.  I do have one issue with my faith that I don't think I have ever expressed to anyone, even my mentor, but I look more to Jesus and the New Testament than to God and the Old Testament for examples on how to live my life and how I treat others.
