Prayer

I doubt anyone in the Pennsylvania Legislature has used force upon you to pray to a different god, nor has anyone there in the House or Senate hearings punished you for refusing to pray a certain way. This would not be legal. Nor can they discriminate by religious content, to punish you for praying differently.

That they open every session with a prayer does not force you to pray to a different god, nor does that prayer force you to believe as others believe.

If you sued to stop this prayer action, it would be within your rights, but you would have a very difficult and lengthy legal process ahead. If you can find an attorney to litigate this feel free to proceed. A right to the legal process does exist in our country.

Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
