Political Correctness Or Just Plain Christophobia?

A pastor gets fired for mentioning Jesus in a prayer.
Baity’s troubles began during the week of May 31. He said a House clerk asked to see his prayer. The invocation including prayers for our military, state lawmakers and a petition to God asking him to bless North Carolina.”

“When I handed it to the lady, I watched her eyes and they immediately went right to the bottom of the page and the word Jesus,” he told FOX News Radio. “She said ‘We would prefer that you not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended.’”
When he politely declined to remove the fact that he was praying in Jesus’ name, he was no longer welcome to pray for the elected officials of North Carolina.
Apparently, even Christian pastors are now expected to raise their prayers to some undefined, culturally neutral and therefore unmentionable deity, when invited to a "multi-cultural" event.
