Me thinks the U S of A has lost its balance, completely. I, as an individual, very well understand the slogan on the U.S. Dollar note i.e. 'In God We Trust' But is this 'GOD' defined as a 'Hindu' ; 'Christian' ; 'Muslim' or 'a No Club God' ?? For me, GOD is universal and remains univiversal. Why would the stupid Americans allow a religious service whether it is a Christian service or a Hindu service to initiate the purely political discourse in the Sanate?? It baffles my intelligence, even so, if it might be miniscule. At this rate, the US Senate should open its business starting with prayers pertaining to all possible religions, and me thinks that no business will be conducted and it will be flop show. Cheers Bush! You have done it!
floriano lobo goasuraj BTW: I saw the clip on the Telly , the Hindu Bhat at the show. According to me, it was an awful show. If I was in the Senate, I would have flung rotten eggs, not on the Hindu priest, but on the entire Senate. I believe that POLI TICS must be totally exorcised from RELIGION. Only then we shall have peace in t his B......Y world. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edgar Furtado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 10:18 PM Subject: [Goanet] Hindus Press issue on U.S Senate Prayer Hindus press issue on U.S. Senate prayer WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Groups representing Hindus have asked U.S. presidential candidates to denounce those who interrupted a Hindu prayer in the U.S. Senate. Three people interrupted the prayer July 12 -- the first prayer by a Hindu cleric to open a Senate session. The protesters were quickly removed from the chamber and arrested. The Hindu American Foundation and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness say no senator has publicly came out against their actions, The Washington Post reported Friday. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had invited Rajan Zed, a chaplain from Reno, Nev., to open the Senate that day. A number of Christian groups, including the American Family Association and Operation Rescue, issued statements before and after July 12 opposing non-Christian prayer in Congress. Christian groups have said the protesters -- Ante Nedlko Pavkovic, Katherine Lynn Pavkovic and their daughter, Christan Renee Sugar, all of Davidson, N.C. -- acted alone.
