Inclusion-Exclusion
Dear Moby,
I attended the Tea Party rally today.
First, I would like to thank you for your commitment and your hard work in the effort.
But I want to ask you not to exclude non-Christians from prayers. You made a point that the tea party effort was not a matter of Democrat, Republican, Independent, but simply American.
So how could you then exclude non-Christians from the prayer? Is it supposed to be for any political stripe, but for Christians only? You twice mentioned our "Christian god."
I'm a Christian. But I don't believe in excluding a non-Christian from anything, whether it is a prayer, or feeling included in a rally such as this one.
This has made me rethink going to any more rallies put on by North Fulton.
But since the previous one I'd been to (with Herman Cain) was not like this, I plan to give them one more chance, in the hopes that something like this won't happen again.
I will write to them of my concern as well.
Please remember, there are people attending these things who are not Christian like us, and it is not in our best interests to exclude them or make them feel uncomfortable in any way.
It doesn't even make sense. I do appreciate your efforts more than I can say, but please accept my suggestion, and refrain from making non-Christians feel excluded from the prayer, or any aspect of the gathering.
It hurts us, and it is not in line with my core beliefs.
Sincerely, Jeanie Summers Roswell

Dear Jeanie,
In the spirit of sincere inclusion, I allow you the pulpit of this show to make your feelings known. The Christian God of our founders is the God through whose love and guidance this wonderful country of liberty and religious freedom was conceived. In my heart, I feel that if anyone felt excluded at our Tea Party, I am truly sorry. But at a devoutly patriotic event, at least one where I have duties as MC, I’ll never not acknowledge my God, and the God of the men that laid the very foundation of this nation. The Jewish lady that came forward to say a few words during the “We the People” segment didn’t seem to have any of the issues of exclusion you seem to be concerned and sensitive about. Jeanie, the majority of our population in America believes in the Judeo/Christian God. You say you do as well. No individual needs to feel shut out of a rally where the Christian holy deity is recognized, and whose blessings are requested for the day, and our combined future. Our children’s, children’s, children’s will judge us on how we behave during this crisis we face, and how we, as a nation, respond to our patriotic duty. Is this land of religious freedom, every individual has the right to believe as they will, but never lose sight of the fact; it was Christian men who made that right of free choice the law of the land. I sincerely thank you for expressing your opinion, and for creating an opportunity for me to express mine. God bless you, America, and every individual that worries as we all should for our future. Between the two of us, we created a Small Town Soap Box.
