Prayer is a controversy at FSU SGA

What happened at Virginia Tech is beyond words. I am a soldier in the Army and am preparing to defend our freedom from those outside of America wanting to do us harm. But it hurts more when it comes from nutjobs inside. The first thing Americans thought after hearing of the massacre was to pray for the victims and their families. TCC had little ribbons tied up all ready for students to pick up and wear the next day and both TCC and FSU held vigils outside of their unions. Every church in America said a prayer for those hurt and lost. So, why did the Student Government Association at FSU argue for twenty minutes about taking the word "pray" out of their memorial service. When the argueing was over the SGA decided to take the word out because it might offend some people. This is just silly. You don't have to tell someone to pray. People just will because that's all they can do in this case. So why does the SGA think they have to keep the word "pray" out of any text or pompous speech they might write? Where is this crowd of people offended by the word "pray"? Is it the Cristians? No. The Muslims? No. The Jews? No. Is it the Army and Air Force soldiers and airmen? No. The same day of the vigil the FSU ROTC had an awards ceremony. Every cadet was present wearing his or her dress uniform and all cadre were there including Colonels from the Army, Air Force, and a Captain from the Navy. After the flags were posted in the front of the room and the star spangled banner was sung a young cadet and Pershing Rifleman recited a prayer. She prayed for our safety and blessing and asked for the ease of those suffering from the Virginia Tech massacre. So, where is this group of individuals who are offended? It is the SGA itself. The SGA is not a representative body for FSU. While students gather around their campus to have a vigil and pray for those lost the SGA is arguing that praying is offensive. All students need to look at the SGA and do something to correct it. I'm tired of tiptoeing my life around someone who might get offended. Americans and FSU students in particular are a religious people. This SGA is an ultra liberal, segregated minority not representing our views and morals. So, say a prayer for VT and say a prayer for the SGA as well. Hopefully the good people caught up this silly SGA can stand up to this ludicrous minority and start REPRESENTING AMERICAN STUDENTS AT FSU!
