A small South Carolina town is facing a £35,000 [USD $65,000] legal bill after losing a battle over whether it should stop using Jesus Christ's name in prayers before council meetings.
Darla Wynne, who describes herself as a Wiccan priestess, sued Great Falls Council, saying the town violated the separation between church and state by using the name of Jesus in prayers, because it promoted one religion over the other.
[And there you have it. You can either follow the United States Constitution and not have a state religion, or you can 'honor diversity' and invoke the name of Jesus, Mohamed, Thor, Diana, Ah Pook, Orisha, Tuatha-de-Danann, Guan-Yu, Osirus, Tapio, Zeus, Ilyapa, Thunder Bird, Hu Hu the Spider Deer, Flying Spaghetti Monster and at least 2,500 other deities before each and every government function. Which is a better use of your tax dollars?]
