Wow. WTF! The secularist get an inch, we get thrown one bone and then there is outcry from them. Say it isn't so. The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, has correctly decided that there will be no clergy in official capacity at the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at ground zero and they are pissed. Again, WTF.
All the cool kids know that religion is the reason why 9/11 happened in the first place. The cool kids know that the government cannot promote one religion over another. That is why when the peeps like American Atheist and FFRF sue cities and counties that have prayers before official functions...they win. Often times, and it is the case with 9/11 anniversary, religious folk seem to think that more religion is the answer to the problem. They believe "why not invite a diverse array of religions (and that only means Christianity and maybe, maybe another one) because that will make it equal." Ugh...fuckin' stupid much.
Mayor Bloomberg is right on the money in his decision to not have clergy of any participating in any official capacity for the ceremonies (he never said they couldn't go). He is correct in that this tremendous and solemn event should and must focused on the families of 9/11.
As one Christian pastor said of the complainers, this is the reason why you were not invited in the first place. And as Nu Kriss 2011 Summer/Fall edition says, "Religion caused 9/11 so...Shut the fuck up, losers. "
Have a nice day everyone (and my twitter is working again, c'ya in the twitterverse).
