I've really already told you the answer. I don't have enough time to go through every situation with you- apparently you have more free time than I do.

If it's a governmental gathering, and not a private and personal service, no prayers. If it's a private funeral, than whatever prayer you want. It's really a pretty simple distinction. You don't like it, I'm sure, but I do. Will there be cases that step up to the line between private and public? Yes there will. The courts will decide those. Am I interested in arguing about this forever? No. Would you like to make me out as someone who wants to "squash" religion? Yes. Am I trying to squash religion? What I want is fairness and neutrality from the government- meaning no governmental agency or organ pushes religion. That looks like "unfairness" and "suppression" to you. Are we going to resolve this? No. Are other people on this thread probably bored to death by now by this? Yes. Could we argue until one of us drops dead about this? Yes. Are we going to? No.
