Freedom of Prayer?

I don't know if you are a fan of the ACLU or not, but I'm concerned that the organization is getting involved in everything it seems. I believe that everyone has his or her right to do as he or she chooses but not at the expense of taking away my freedoms. I was surfing through some small newspapers and learned that the ACLU is trying to prevent some small county commissioners from opening a meeting with any prayer that mentions the name of Jesus Christ. I have no problem with this prayer as you know. If the audience present is REQUIRED to sit there, then that is a problem; however, my understanding of most commissioners' meetings and all other meetings, too, is that one is free to come and go at one's leisure. That means if I don't want to hear a prayer with the name of Jesus spoken, I can come in late to the meeting; I can wear earmuffs; I can turn off my hearing aids; or, I could even pray silently to Allah if I had a mind (I am a Prostestant, however). If this is a procedure which has been taking place for years and years, then it's not a practice just started to offend others. I would inform you that this prayer would be taking place so that you or any others opposing this practice could wait outside. That way, you can be happy and I can be happy. That, to me, is freedom of religion. In the same way, if you and your organization were of a different religion, you should treat me the same. I'd gladly wait outside, pray to my Lord and Savior while you have yours. That, my friend, is freedom, in my opinion. What do you think? I love my country's religious practices; I love our money which says, "In God we Trust"; I love the 10 Commandments written on our governmental buildings; I love the freedoms which my forefathers guaranteed; and, I love America!
