Horseshit. So praying will be treated in the same manner as not praying? Only the goddamned religious can come up with such nonsense. The intent is probably far worse though: to put religious myths on par with science. OK, it’s time to import more muslims into Mass, let’s see how the xians feel about being free to pray when surrounded by hundreds of muslims facing Mecca and wailing.

The news story I read in my local paper (Cape Cod Times) had so many buzz words my eyes hurt. The fact that no one spoke against the bill is just more evidence that the solons were once again asleep at the wheel.
