"You say your God is the One True God,
but my One God is the One True God,
You say your God is the One True God,
but my One God's the One..."
--Austin Lounge Lizards

Operation Save America attempted to disrupt the United States Senate this morning because they can't stand the idea that the Senate might get an opening prayer from a Hindu.

To say that his religious principles are obnoxious or that his sect is small, is to lift the evil at once and exhibit in its naked deformity the doctrine that religious truth is to be tested by numbers or that the major sects have a right to govern the minor.--Founding Father James Madison on the problem with congressional chaplains

Ante Pavkovic, Kathy Pavkovic, and Kristen Sugar were all arrested in the chambers of the United States Senate as that chamber was violated by a false Hindu god. The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ. This would never have been allowed by our Founding Fathers.--Operation Save America Director Flip Benham on the Founding Fathers

Emphasis mine. Madison was of course speaking of those obnoxious principles behind roman catholocism and quakerism, but the principle is the same. So, near as I can tell, Flip thinks Madison wasn't a Founding Father and Madison would have thought that Flip was Evil. Madison is smart.
