Fox News op/ed. "...one quiver in our arsenal Satan cannot thwart".....this includes the byways

Lauren Green: This is the power of a National Day of Prayer

It is certainly not the first time a president has called for prayer. Throughout America’s history, her commanders in chief have understood the power of prayer and the humility required to bow heads in reverent acknowledgment that we are not sufficient unto ourselves.

To close the churches where people go for comfort and spiritual strength – as an act of fighting against this biological scourge – seems like a surrender to Satan.

But ah! We have one quiver in our arsenal that Satan cannot thwart. It is the power of prayer!


If the coronavirus is part of Satan’s arsenal of evil, then we should all be confident that God will prevail in this battle. The Christian belief is that Satan has already been defeated. That Jesus by dying on the cross vanquished this peddler of pain, this maestro of misery. Those who believe need not fear death or even sickness. We need only put our hope in the One who is ultimately in charge.

So pray that God guides them to better knowledge; pray for the people already infected, that they recover quickly; pray for their families; pray for those who need assurances that the world cares; pray for yourself and your co-workers; Pray for the government officials, that they be guided in their work to keep our nation running; pray for the schools, the hospitals, the buses and byways. Pray!

Didn't that Rebbe Jesus teach that we MUST pray at home, in privacy and secrecy, with only God hearing, and not publicly in temples?
Every time I bring this up to god-botherers, I get a blank stare and usually the statement "That's not what he meant."
Then they go back to raving in tongues, playing with rattle snakes and repeatedly passing the basket.

My liberal church brought me a lot of love and comfort this morning and I like to think I gave some too. I sat outside the doors to protect others in case I’m carrying and asymptomatic because they are elderly mostly and huggers (I’m not so much) . I could hear just fine.

But that’s still funny 😄

I can guarantee you I have never walked by a mosque, church, synagogue or temple and thought, "I want to blow them all up".

I still believe America is for EVERY belief system.

I think you know who was the target of my post.

If anyone tries to stop you from worshiping in your liberal church, this anti-religionist will be there to help you fight.

Stay healthy. Cheers!
