Religious Pluralism Will Destroy America
Tomorrow, a Hindu chaplain is scheduled to deliver the opening prayer in the United States Senate and the Right is not happy about it:
"In Hindu, you have not one God, but many, many, many, many, many gods," [David Barton of WallBuilders] explains. "And certainly that was never in the minds of those who did the Constitution, did the Declaration [of Independence] when they talked about Creator -- that's not one that fits here because we don't know which creator we're talking about within the Hindu religion."
But while Barton is merely concerned that such a thing only offends the Founding Fathers, The American Family Association is setting of alarm bells and warning of dire consequences:
Buddy Smith is a spokesman for American Family Association, which opposes the non-Christian prayer and urges citizens to call their Washington legislators to take action.
"It is a watershed day in that it brings to mind some of these precedent-setting events like the day that we took prayer and Bible-reading out of school in our country [and] the day that we legalized abortion," Smith offers. "I fear that while God has been so merciful with our country in the past, events such as are about to happen, like this in the U.S. Senate, is angering a just God. I fear that we bring judgment upon our country with such acts."
