Words “God” and “Jesus” now censored

Department of Veterans Affairs is consistently censoring their prayers by banning them from saying the words "God" and "Jesus" during funeral services

However, the new allegations come one month after a controversy surrounding Pastor Scott Rainey's prayer in Jesus' name at a Memorial Day service in the cemetery. U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes ruled May 26 that the government couldn't stop Rainey from using the words "Jesus Christ" in his invocation. Hughes issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from censoring Rainey's prayer.

First, this is nothing new. They've been trying to ban any reference to Jesus for years.....The chaplains in the military are always tackling people trying to ban it. However, Muslim Chaplains can use Allah, Jewish Chaplains can say Jehovah, etc.

If they want to ban using God and Jesus for prayers are they also against using God and Jesus with cuss words?

Probably figured that since they're grown adults, they shouldn't openly believe in fairy tales.
