You can't say Jesus in a prayer?

.. okay, now I swear I've seen it all!  

A North Carolina pastor was relieved of his duties as an honorary chaplain of the state house of representatives after he closed a prayer by invoking the name of Jesus.

 You think we're kidding?    It can't be because Jesus is mentioned in a PRAYER can it?   Read it and weep for the state of North Carolina...

Baity’s troubles began during the week of May 31. He said a House clerk asked to see his prayer. The invocation including prayers for our military, state lawmakers and a petition to God asking him to bless North Carolina.”

“When I handed it to the lady, I watched her eyes and they immediately went right to the bottom of the page and the word Jesus,” he told FOX News Radio. “She said ‘We would prefer that you not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended.’”

That's a QUOTE folks, not a paraphrase...

Well how about the people you and your idiotic staff in North Carolina just offended by saying the name of our lord and savior is OFFENSIVE??
