Uhm... separation of church and state?

[whttevrr]

I understand the sentiment... but really?

Why is the news conference starting with a prayer after all that craziness?

1. and a Christian prayer

He could have at least made it non-denominational.

[whttevrr]

3. I don't begrudge the faithful...

But the prayer seems to imply that this action is ordained by god... and now that you mention it, not even a non denominational god but jesus himself.

Wouldn't jesus have met the protesters with love and manna?

2. Hey, I'm a practicing Christian…

…and my first reaction was " is this crap???"



(I must admit to having fantasies of Monty Python's "Foot of God" stomping the guy mid-prayer.)

[whttevrr]

4. It's like a slap in the face...

I think some people are tired of turning the other cheek.

5. Welcome to the old south, y'all. nt

[whttevrr]

6. It just happened to happen at midnight...

But it is not a curfew.

7. Johnson is proving to be just another tool…

Disgusting.

[whttevrr]

8. They just got done gassing all these people and a prayer makes it ok?

Jesus is gonna be pissed. Do they now have to ask for forgiveness for taking the lords name in vain?

9. God told us to gas the Jewish people/gay people/etc. You KNOW somebody said it...
