Oh, Christ!
This is just stupid:
President-elect Barack Obama's choice of Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation drew one kind of protest. Whether the evangelical pastor offers the prayer in the name of Jesus may draw another. At George W. Bush's 2001 swearing-in, the Revs. Franklin Graham and Kirbyjon Caldwell were criticized for invoking Christ. The distinctly Christian reference at a national civic event offended some, and even prompted a lawsuit.
Because in a nation founded on Judeo-Christian ideas and where 80%+ of the people are Christians you shouldn't mention Christ?
Seriously?
As part of the "none of the above" crowd even I think that's stupid.
