  1. Praying is not confined to a public space surrounded by government buildings. Humble prayer is done anywhere at anytime, and not meted out.

  2. I love it! Government telling us how long we can pray at a park. It’s only going to get worse with politicians playing like doctors without a degree. Would you let a councilman perform a medical procedure on you???

    • Depends… does the councilman have medical training?
      The government managing time in a park is totally reasonable. That is what government does, it manages things. In this managing how much time each group has to exhibit their religious beliefs in a public, tax payer funded venue.

      • Scary and dangerous!They have no training and they still want to make medical decisions! They only are watching the finances now not the science.
