Stan Lutz doesn't get what the fuss is all about. So what if three state senators boycotted the morning prayer at a recent legislative session because a Hindu cleric delivered the invocation? It was anti-Christian, they argued, to have a Hindu bless the Senate. Or as state Sen. Steve Vick explained to the Spokesman-Review: "They worship cows." Who cares that the Idaho Statesman called the "prayer snub pitiful" and the incident pushed the Idaho Press-Tribune to publish an editorial headlined, "Time to end public prayers in Statehouse"? This is Idaho, Lutz noted from his usual post at the Northwest Science Museum, America's newest tribute to creationism that's only a few miles west of the Capitol dome where Rajan Zed got the cold shoulder/Mary L. Laganga, Los Angeles Times. More here.
