"Praying Lady" hijacks public school board meetings

May I vent? A woman attends every local public school board meeting and signs up to speak during the public comments portion. And she does this so she can publicly pray to "Father God" while the board and attendees are forced to listen. Nothing can be done to stop her because 1st amendment, I guess. She tells god that we need his help now more than ever, lord, and goes on for the full 3-minute time allowance. She's not pleasant if you show that you're not thrilled to pray along with her. The Moms for Liberty gals and the Proud Boy attendees are A-OK with her, because god is, of course, on their side. Woke libs are hell-bound heathens and they hate us anyway--glad she annoys us, I guess.

OK, I'm done.

When she is finished, instead of saying "amen", say "thank goddess she is done".

And pray to Satan that he continues to have an active role in her life as long as she continues to try and force her religious bull pucky on everyone

Use your time to pray that certain pastors, politicians and select people change their ways to not molest children and other assorted crimes.

I don't want to be anymore vocal than I sometimes am at these meetings--the reThug allies are vicious here. Not afraid for me, but other family members. Crazy that religious control is causing so much dissension in US, now, again. Damn those Puritans.
