    "content": "in our National Anthem, which starts with the acknowledgement of the God of all creation. Also in our Constitution, in our Preamble, our first acknowledgment is to the supremacy of the Almighty God of all creation. I would like to note that for the last 500 years, we have been living in an epoch that I would call the scientific materialistic age. However, we are now living in a new world. We are evolving into a spiritual realm. Even as we speak of a national prayer day, I would wish that this Committee would look more into issues of spirituality, because religiosity is bringing conflict in this country. Every time we bring up issues of religion, they become politicised. I believe that religion is a man- made construct; but spirituality is what we are, as a creation of God. I support this Petition and hope that we will institute a day of national prayers because we have given and acknowledged many other things that are less important than the creator of mankind. So, as the Committee takes up this Petition, I pray that they give it the seriousness it deserves. Thank you very much for the opportunity, Hon. Speaker."
