Say amen to prayer at government meetings? #tellusatoday

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case that challenges prayer at government meetings. We asked followers for their thoughts. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

I'd rule for prayer at public meetings if all faiths got to pray in their own way, and people with none could do a moment of silence.

No praying at government meetings. As a nation of immigrants, every culture does not worship the same God.

— @JeffOstach

Faith is part of our moral fabric. The Supreme Court should rule in favor. Prayers are done before meals, funerals and more.

— @EspinalGeorge

As long as people pray on their own time and not during taxpayer-funded time.

— @ricketzz

Prayers should be said in church, and that's it.

— @br51079849

That's just what our society needs, weaker moral values!

— @Davekosar1

Let those who want to pray, pray. What's the big deal?

— @MichaelHeafey1

The First Amendment bans Congress from passing laws establishing a particular religion, not from praying, which is free speech.
