Let us look for ways of cooperation and let those who call for tolerance be tolerant of a prayer that really hurts no one.

Hahaha. Yeah, acts in the name of Christianity haven't harmed a soul. Besides, the prayer not being able to 'hurt' anyone isn't the point. I think 'alienate' is the word you're looking for and, yes, that act would alienate a good portion of the country.

By the way, Rick Warren is a bigot.

I never made a comment as to Rick Warren and my likes or dislikes of him as it is not relevant to the issue.

I know. I think he's a bigot, however.

If you knew me, you'd understand my lack of care about relevancy. :D

It's because the first protest about Pastor Warren doing the invocation in general went no where.

As well they should. I think if we can elect Obama President and trust his judgement with the entire fate of the world we can trust him to handle who should or will perform the invocation.

The reason many English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish left is not just because of famine in Ireland, but due to lack of religious freedom as you had no choice but to follow the Monarchs religion.

This is correct. The famine in Ireland didn't even happen until the 1840s. Even after the Act of Toleration in 1689, there still wasn't religious liberty.

There was a large increase in migration from Ireland to other countries during the famine though.
