That is fine, I just thought that they weren't allowed to mesh the two at any time. Thank you!

most presidents do a prayer before during this process. I personally don't care for it but its done and people seem to accept it.

from wikipedia:
The term most often refers to the combination of two principles: secularity of government and freedom of religious exercise.[2]
basically church cant affect the LAWS and govt cant stop practicing your religion
BUT if you choose to you can have your faith be a part of the ceremony
I think its nice personally!
it is allowed, but if you do not believe in it, then you don't have to say the prayer along with them.
oh, I wasn't talking about President Obama (that has a nice ring to it). The man who was speaking before him is who I was referring to. Some parts of his speech I found to be referencing religion.
Like Tilde said, religion cannot influence decisions. If they want to incorporate religion in their personal speeches I think its fine.

It doesn't have to influence decisions but on a day where we're all excited to celebrate the same thing I think the speeches should be aimed at something we all can relate to, KWIM? Again, I am not referring to Obama

I see what youre saying but this is his HUGE day and to have to sacrifice something he believes in just to make non-religious people happy doesnt seem right. Im not the most religious person but I found it nice. Theres plenty we can all relate to. Anything we dont, we can ignore I guess. I wasnt too happy with the pastor he chose but then again Im sure most pastors are against gay marriage![]()
I really don't care for it either, but it is commonly practiced. He was respectful enough not to attack other nontraditional faiths and President Obama gave a lovely speech. I hope all works out. A lot of people are counting on him.
Did you catch his ending? If you're brown, may you get around; if you're yellow, may you be mellow, if you're white, may you do right; if you're red, may you get ahead.![]()

That is when I turned it off--who was that guy (sorry to sound ignorant, I just heard that lined and turned it off!)?
Anyway, I really was excited that Obama mentioned non-believers in his speech.
