<< I never argued the other side; however, I do not always share the
view of
certain groups as to what constitutes state sponsorship of a prayer.  I have
always argued against state-sponsored prayer, while at the same time I argue
that a state employee retains the right of free religious expression even
while on the state payroll. >>

If that was the position your were arguing, you were not as clear as you
could have been. Here is one example:

theological points in it

Ben,

Disputed by whom?  The Credo from most classical masses is pretty much
undisputed, as the text is essentially the Nicene creed.

IAC, there are lots of undisputed prayers possible, as long as one
acknowledges a monotheistic God.  And I think we should allow the govt to
assert this.

Comments on the last two sentences? You have piqued my curiosity.
