Okay, millions of atheist heads just exploded. :lol: The the Supercommittee, the most powerful committee on Earth, just combined church and state. What say ye?With the congressional supercommittee tackling the federal debt crisis apparently gridlocked, Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black on Thursday tapped a higher power.
Opening the chamber's session in the morning, he asked for God's blessings on lawmakers, as he usually does — and then asked for the Almighty to shed some providential wisdom particularly on the 12 members of the committee struggling to lower the future debt increases by $1.5 trillion.
"Eradicate false ambition as you make them content to serve you where they are and as they are. In a special way, guide the supercommittee in its challenging work," the chaplain said.

I don't care what they do so long as they don't step on the rights of others and allow (should a muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, Hindu, buddhist, etc... ever be present and desire to do so) the chance to ask for their deity's blessing as well in such a formal way.

Oh please spare me the condescension. Liberals think praying at football games infringes on the separation of church and state. Apparently you didn't get the memo that there is a little humor involved.1) You need to learn what the separation of church and state actually is.
2) I think most of us atheists are actually indifferent.

Frankly I think the pastor is the only one in the committee chamber that knows what the hell he's doing.

No doubt they asked him to be there, and I find it ironic that you won't say the same for the other members in the room. :doh:Defrauding gullible people for a paycheck?
Go find out who's trying to keep a prayer by FDR for the troop on D-Day out of the WWII memorial.So you still don't know what it means, and are still trying to assign actions to others despite those others not reacting nearly as you expected.

Obama Administration Opposes FDR Prayer At WWII Memorial | Fox NewsIf you think you have something, spit it out.
“The monument highlights 12 famous speeches given as America was dragged into the worldwide conflict on December 7, 1941, then as U.S. GIs took the lead in both the European and Pacific theaters of the war,” wrote Kirby. “But there’s not a hint of Christianity or faith in any of them—although prayer was a key part of the American way of life during the war.”
