bigotry quote of the day

"I don't know if he even knows who he's praying to. We're not opposed to the ability of people to worship their own gods or god, but when it comes to our civil government ... it's always been the recognition of the God of the Bible. Every religion is not equal. That's my belief. That's logic."
--Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, commenting on the recent prayer offered in the California House of Representatives by Hindu cleric Rajan Zed. A few weeks prior, Zed was offering the same prayer in the U.S. Senate when a clear, loud voice came from the gallery:

"Lord Jesus, forgive us, Father, for allowing the prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight."
