Lake Worth Invocations
Atheist Preston Smith mentioned Jesus, Allah, Satan and Thor. Smith ended the invocation by saying, “And so we prayed. So what?”
Most of us believe in prayer. Atheists make up about 3.1% of our population but we, being politically correct, bowed down to them and voted to change our invocation procedure to knock them out of the loop of free speech. We also catered to the "progressives" who also hate prayer but they hate anything that disagrees with their narrative. Everyone has the right to be silly, but why do we continue to allow the minority to control the message?
Tonight is the city commission meeting--the only one we will have in the month of December. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag will be led by Vice Mayor Maxwell. However, we are not going to be very spiritual tonight as the invocation will be a "Moment of Silence."
If you recall, it was said that the rotation process where each member on the dais could say his own invocation, have a moment of silent prayer or invite someone of their choosing to give an inspirational message and still follow the Supreme Court decision that was mentioned by the city attorney, was voted in on a 4/1 vote.
Trying to get to the bottom of the rotation process and what commissioner is responsible for what meeting is undetermined at this time. No one seems to know the answer to this.
The city clerk says, "There are no records for the Commission rotation or moment of silence responsibility." Now, don't you think, as this was voted by the commission to change its procedure where each one of them would have the responsibility of deciding before a commission meeting on a rotation basis, that they would at least be curious enough to ask when they were on the schedule to decide for all of us whether or not we get to hear an invocation or not?
If no one knows, especially the city clerk, then was this meeting in November really about fooling and appeasing us in order to eliminate invocations altogether? I guess they thought we wouldn't notice.
