Sikh Prayer opened wednesdays convention.

[Dordrecht]

Any reaction to the fact that the Republican Convention wednesday morning was opened with a Sikh Prayer????

[shazeep]

wow, and closed with a Muslim one, apparently. On day 2 at least. Makes no sense at all.

Uh, because they are a diverse party. ��

[Ferd]

not really. the republican convention isn't my church.
republicanism isn't my religion.

what are we supposed to do? tell the world republicans are GeebusOnlyites?

[shazeep]

amen
sure seems...provocative? tho. Are they still even allowed to pray in Christ's Name?

What fellowship hath Christ with Belial? What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

A lot of Christians think the GOP is the GOD party. Doubt this will wake any of them up, though.

Don't know of any who believe this way. Ridiculously exaggerated.

hmm. Many Christians believe this way, perhaps then? Some? But none? c'mon. Did you "serve" in the military? Are you proud of this "service?" Do you vote?

ah, Sikh's believe in Belial?...is he the god of reincarnation or something? You know, it is given for a man to live once, but there is some wiggle room there, as the spirit goes back to God, and the soul lives on...the only real Scriptural admonition we have is not to teach reincarnation--which i have not been able to find again, read it years ago--but anyway i dunno, they believe in One God, i guess, so belial seems maybe a bit...divisive? Kind of like letting a Sikh open prayer in a "Christian" country

don't get me wrong, i agree with Hou, but i am suspicious of any fascists presenting unity. Instead of all who might desire participating in a solemn invocation to God, nothing to see here, we have...exotic? monotheists generating "news" articles about it for general consumption in the mass media, read "Christians."

Wonder what the Sikhs think? hmm...
"These are the people we want to reach the most. Their base (mmm-hmm)are the people most likely to commit a hate crime against us. Imagine a hateful white youth who is fed up with terrorists and thinks..."

"After the pledge of allegiance (of course; might be circling in on belial after all) and the national anthem, Ms Dhillon took the stage..."

Read the quote again.

"A lot of Christians think the GOP is the GOD party."

No, I don't know of a single person who believes the GOP is the "GOD" party. I know multitudes who believe the GOP is better than the Democrats, due to its defense of the unborn, its platform of family values, defense of traditional marriage, defense of religious freedoms etc.

But none that believe it's the "GOD" party.

That's exaggerated.
