PZ Myers is asking for another poll crashing. So he'll send his 200,000 readers, and I'll send all four of you ....
Should local governmental bodies be allowed to open their meetings with a prayer?

I had no idea I was in such an elite group of people.

Who are the other five?

OK. I voted "no". But doesn't that disallow invoking the Lord of Darkness at a council meeting and inviting him to address those present according to their desserts? A pity, that.

Since I read both of you, I had to vote twice - once using Firefox and the other time with IE. I feel like I've actually done something without putting forth any effort. I think it's kind of like praying.

Didn't there used to be 11 of us? I feel like I'm shrinking.

Eh, it's not worth it. We need to win fair and square.

I think all you have to do is find the related cookie and delete it, then you can vote again. Not that I would do that. But you could do that.

Wow. No is winning with 93%. It's just not looking good for the faithful.

Not at all - that would mean, proportionately, you're growing.
I can see why it should be forbidden. After all, if you invoke Cthulu or FSM, Christians would probably whine about "disrespect" or something. So nobody gets to pray in city council meetings. As a side-benefit, however, nobody gets to decide zoning boundaries in church either.

It sure looks like the poll has been Pharyngulated. It was fun to watch.

Pharyngulistas beat Freepers every time.

Well, due to the way my RSS feed works, and what I read so far, I hit this first, so I voted under your banner. We can still open Government meetings with a meditation on the Sith, correct?
