Dalai Lama Opens US Senate With Prayer
I wonder what god actually hears the prayers of the Dalai Lama?
Of course to the liberals of this earth whenever someone prays it's ALWAYS GOOD and it all gets funneled to the same place...the big man upstairs, or some other dumb name.
I remember I pressed one atheist when I asked her about the National Day of Prayer...I asked her if people praying to Satan on that day could cancel out the people who were praying the One True God. She looked at me with a blank stare...and I never really got an answer.
Dalai Lama to lead US Senate prayers
Washington (AFP) - The Dalai Lama will lead the US Senate in prayer on Thursday as the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader meets leaders of Congress, his office said.
It will mark the first time that the Dalai Lama -- whose activities overseas are strongly opposed by China -- will deliver the prayer that customarily opens each Senate session.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner will later meet leaders of both the Senate and House of Representatives, said Kaydor Aukatsang, a spokesman for the Office of Tibet. A Senate aide confirmed the Dalai Lama's meetings.
China has described the Dalai Lama as a "wolf in monk's clothing" and accuses him of supporting Tibetan independence despite his statements.
The Dalai Lama has traditionally enjoyed wide support across the US political spectrum. Last month, he addressed the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, and he has prominent left-leaning supporters such as actor Richard Gere.
On Friday, the Dalai Lama will address a maximum-capacity crowd at the Washington National Cathedral.
The United States is officially secular, but the Senate has opened each session with a prayer. The chaplain -- since 2003, Barry C. Black -- has frequently invited figures from a variety of faiths to deliver the prayer.
Well, isn't that special...his next stop is the National Cathedral!!
Hey isn't that the place that had it's tower ripped off in the RARE earthquake that caused some much damage to DC and the surrounding areas?
Isn't that the same place where the crane tipped over that was then trying to repair the cathedral?
I honestly wonder what gods are running around Washington, DC these days? It sure doesn't seem to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
"Have NO OTHER GODS before me."
"I am a jealous God."
Hmmmm....so guessing this Lama invoking his god at our Senate leadership is going to be one other nail in the coffin?
