Highlight:

Good news: President Trump, this is no time for prayer [View all] guillaumeb Oct 2017 OP

Also from the article: guillaumeb Oct 2017 #1

Interesting, so you're saying religion is the problem? trotsky Oct 2017 #2

No, I am not. Nor is the author. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #4

Oh good, so then you've given up on this silly idea of things like "patriotism" being... trotsky Oct 2017 #6

Once again, you missed the point. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #8

I did? trotsky Oct 2017 #21

I already did tell you. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #25

Tell me again. trotsky Oct 2017 #29

I also have trouble understanding what the hell you are trying to say Angry Dragon Oct 2017 #10

Did you read the entire piece? guillaumeb Oct 2017 #11

prayers don't work Angry Dragon Oct 2017 #13

One possible reading, but will you admit that there can be others? eom guillaumeb Oct 2017 #14

sure....there can be others.......the author is the only one that knows what he was trying to say Angry Dragon Oct 2017 #17

Such as... Lordquinton Oct 2017 #32

Such as, obviously, the opinion of the writer. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #34

That was implied Lordquinton Oct 2017 #35

My own view is that Trump seems invariably to choose an inappropriate response. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #36

That is reasonable Lordquinton Oct 2017 #41

Leader and followers adhering to the script. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #42

I don't know if its wise to encourage Donald Trump to get angry about anything. AtheistCrusader Oct 2017 #3

He sounds as if he has been angry since birth. eom guillaumeb Oct 2017 #5

selfish ego Angry Dragon Oct 2017 #12

All ego? guillaumeb Oct 2017 #15

I would say no.............mostly ego and some insecurity Angry Dragon Oct 2017 #16

And to me, the impression of a man who can never overcome how his father treated him. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #18

BTW, this isn't "news" at all but simply an opinion piece. trotsky Oct 2017 #7

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of commenting on a piece? guillaumeb Oct 2017 #9

Comment all you like. An opinion piece still won't be news. trotsky Oct 2017 #20

If you read the entire piece, and I make no assumptions here, guillaumeb Oct 2017 #24

Again, it's not about the piece. trotsky Oct 2017 #28

Okay. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #30

No need. trotsky Oct 2017 #31

Despite the URL's wording, religionnews.com is not a news website, MineralMan Oct 2017 #19

I understand your final opinion. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #22

"an opinion piece is, in fact, an opinion piece" trotsky Oct 2017 #23

I recognized what I read. Perhaps you and others missed the bottom line of the article? guillaumeb Oct 2017 #26

We merely commented on your erroneous title for your post. trotsky Oct 2017 #27

Seems like a fake news site Lordquinton Oct 2017 #33

To be fair, they do have the word "opinion" near the top of the page too. trotsky Oct 2017 #37

Is this "Good news" similar to the MineralMan Oct 2017 #38

As you well know, the poster "controls" the title of a post in most groups. guillaumeb Oct 2017 #39

My commentaries here are always my opinions, as stated in my MineralMan Oct 2017 #40
