I just read an article on MSNBC's webiste about a Federal Judge ruling against Prayer in Cobb County, Ga. The judge declared that the county violated the constitution when they had members of clergy offer prayer in public meetings. The weird part of this story is that the judge made the county pay $1 to the 7 residents who sued.
So what do you think? Is is right or wrong in your mind to publicly have prayer?

If the majority of them wanted to pray together then there should be anything wrong about that. Religion is a subject that people get really offended by when it is discussed and I can understand that. I also know that every person is different which means that not everyone believes in the same idea when it comes to religion but the best thing to do is to just let people say what they want to say and believe in what they want to believe in, but if the majority of the group was praying then everything should be fine.
Performing prayer in a town meeting is bad form. It is a deterence for anyone with other religious affiliations to join in the forum, and it is really just inappropriate. There is a time and place for religious expression and it is not within the government.
