I suggest that the proposed constitution amendment on prayer in the public
school should mandate that the prayers should be directed to Zeus.
My reasons are:

From the discussion in netnews we can see that God (Yahweh)
is not a good candidate for school children prayers.  We
have one group claiming that God is a hideous monster
not worthy of worship.  There is another group who claims
that God is good but unfortunately we cannot understand his actions.
Well, if we cannot understand God then he most likely will not
be able to understand school children prayers.  This
would make our children effort an exercise in futility.

On the other hand, Zeus seems to be a nice guy/god  (maybe
a bit lusty) worthy of our school children prayers.
