THE FORCE WILL NOT BE WITH THEM

The bullying of the Yadkin County Commission by Christians who claim they're the victims of outrageous prejudice hit a stone wall last night as commissioners maintained their position that sectarian Jesus-invoking prayers would be discontinued at commission meetings in the interests of Constitutional government.

Mind you, the Commission will continue to open its meetings with prayer. That isn't even the issue. The bullies with the Bibles at last night's meeting want more than "just prayer." They want specific prayers to "Our Lord Jesus Christ," their chins jutting out in defiance against anyone who would dare deny them the right to shanghai local government for the advancement of their particular doctrinal ambitions, which are evidently too large and too aggressive for mere churches, homes, and hearts.
