Appeals court rules against Wiccan in Virginia prayer lawsuit
RICHMOND, Va., April 14 — A federal appeals court Thursday ruled against a Wiccan priestess who argued she should be eligible to offer the opening prayer at a county meeting.

So much for not establishing a religion . . .

1. I hope she appeals,
and I hope she wins.

2. Exactly.
That's what I keep telling people about all this "oh, we need to respect religion in the public sphere". Yeah, just like with "Faith-based Initiatives", there's only ONE faith that they consider valid.

3. Too bad
That one faith is pretty much invalid. It goes against everything the founder started. All over a Jewish book and some guy's opinions.

Jesus is dead. Long live Jesus.
