Reps. Steve Vick, Sheryl Nuxoll and Lori Hartog all three refused to attend daily invocation of Hindu prayer in State senate.
Pillars made of salt
Three pillars of the Idaho community refused to attend their Senate's daily invocation, all three objecting to prayer from a Hindu guest chaplain, Rajan Zed.
"Fulfill all your duties, action is better than inaction," Zed said. "Even to maintain your body, you are obligated to act. Selfish action imprisons the world. Act selflessly, without any throughout of personal profit."
We can all agree, that's pretty objectionable stuff. Without "personal profit"???? Okay, hippie. Let's hear it from the three, Steve Vick, Sheryl Nuxoll and Lori Den Hartog:
Nuxoll says she declined to attend because she believes the United States is a Christian nation.

"Hindu is a false faith with false gods," she said. "I think it's great that Hindu people can practice their religion but since we're the Senate, we're setting an example of what we, Idaho, believe."

Nuxoll added that she wished the Senate had conducted a Christian prayer along with the Hindu invocation.

Vick had announced his objections the day before, saying that he would ask his colleagues to join him.

Den Hartog said it would've been disingenuous to her Christian faith to attend.

Nixon you may remember from last year when she compared the Affordable Care Act with "the Jews boarding trains to concentration camps." She clearly hasn't stopped being classy...or bat$h!† crazy for that matter.

Zed has delivered traditional Hindu prayers in nearly a dozen legislatures. He's delivered Hindu prayer in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.
