We make fun of the Freepers for praying but I have prayed for a Biden victory twice a day.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

When I go to bed and when I wake up. I truly believe Trump is evil in the Biblical sense. He is a golem.

[LisaL]

1. If it makes you feel better, why not?

NT

[shrike3]

2. I'm religious, too. But do you ostentatiously kneel in front of a polling station,

raise your hands and pray? I bet not. Part of this is performance. "Look at me."

I agree on Trump.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I once wrote a letter to the editor against school prayer and cited Matthew 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy. closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray. to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father. which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly

[shrike3]

10. Yep. You got it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. We make fun of the Freepers because they're goofy and ostentatious about their praying.

Before the debates, they start prayer threads. I prayed before the debates too, but privately and by myself.

[shrike3]

21. You prayed with dignity, IOW. Prayer, religion has become a reality show for some people.

[Clash City Rocker]

3. So do I

This isn’t something frivolous, like praying for a football team to win a game. American democracy hangs in the balance.

[Aristus]

4. Go for it!

After four years of not returning God’s calls, I prayed Wednesday morning for a Biden victory. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you for your vigilance.

[Hugin]

6. Prayer is a long accepted hobby in a fox hole.

[Chili]

7. damn straight

I pray every day, have never joined a church.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. You, I can happily tolerate!

How anyone could associate Trump with the teachings of Jesus, or anything good, is beyond me!

[jimfields33]

9. The difference is you don't make a show of it

Thank you for caring so much that you prayed twice a day. Joe did it! He also went to mass the day of the election.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. The day of the election he went to mass and visited his son's grave.

That says so much...

[jimfields33]

29. You are a million percent correct

[badhair77]

15. And his faith is genuine. Several years ago, before he was running,

he sat in front of my friend at Sat eve mass in Charleston. Humbly sat down, no fuss, and bowed his head. Didn’t hold a Bible upside down for photos.

[jimfields33]

30. Awesome person. No doubt!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. Reminds me of Don Shula

I had a friend in Miami Lakes who used to see him at mass every week.

[badhair77]

11. I've been praying for 4 years. We're almost there.

For me it was about faith and that evil would not continue to triumph. This man has stomped on every commandment, then he drove over them, backed up, and spun his tires on them. He is totally offensive. It’s about fairness, it’s about right vs wrong, and so on.

[hamsterjill]

13. I pray daily and I'm definitely a believer.

That’s my right and my choice. It is also anyone else’s right to do as they see fit.

One of the things that has had me most concerned over the last several decades has been the hijacking of Christianity by the far right. They do not and never have been representative of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I was so glad this time around that people were realizing this!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. On twitter a right wing preacher trolled me for my Biden support.

I don't tout my faith much on this site because I arguably engage in behavior that's not consistent with it. I don't want to be a poor witness. On twitter I asked a preacher how he could support a man like Trump and instead of giving me a rational response he gives me a super Trump meme.

[hamsterjill]

18. So many of them are just nuts.

To me, it’s always been about a personal path. A personal journey unlike no one else’s. We each have our own.

The ones who insist that “if you do this” or “if you don’t do this”, make me cringe. God knows me and knows I struggle, and He loves me anyway.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Google Jerushah Duford

I thanked her for her witness on twitter.

[shrike3]

22. That's how I see it. Everyone has to find their own path. Not everyone follows

my path, but that's okay. It's MY path.

[hamsterjill]

25. Exactly.

I believe that just as God made each of us an individual, he made a path for us. We are all different and unique. Each of us no more nor any less than the next one.

[Nexus2]

14. Cool by me.

Being a Democrat and Liberal/Progressive doesn't require being an atheist.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Jesus was a radical.

[shrike3]

23. Jesus hung out with the fun people.

That's how I always see it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. He would have loathed Trump

[phylny]

24. I have prayed, too, fervently that our nation be released from the

clutches of this monster, his administration, and his enablers.

[Silent3]

26. Yes, but you probably didn't "speak in tongues" and rave like a lunatic

Link to tweet

I'm an atheist, but I have much more sympathy for the sentiments behind the prayers of people who prayed in support of the goodness of Biden, and not for the evil that is Trump.

[JHB]

27. Did you do it on camera, loudly, talking in tongues and banging a stick?

I'm going to guess "no", which means you were practicing your own inner faith and not using religion as a political (and grifting) tool.

There in lies the difference, which was what people were making fun of.

[Happy Hoosier]

32. Meh. Pray if ya wanna.

I'm an atheist, so you praying doesn't affect me. If it give you some peace, that's great.

[Sunsky]

33. Same here

I make fun of nobody's religion.
