Source: Only 'Pro-Life' White House Officials Invited to Prayer Day Event

No other western nation has a Day of Prayer foisted on its citizens.

Where do these whacked out fundies get off thinking its their religion that should be the bellweather?

I wonder what the fundies would think if President Obama declares certain months to be special.....lets make December the month for the Xtians, I'll give July to the Muslims...I mean this will allow them to use up there RPGS on the 4th of July for a good cause! We can let the Buddist have April and May because..well because April showers brings Mayflowers and thats gotta be a Buddist thing! January has to go to the Wiccans...I dont know why..I just like em there!

Any fundies wanna get on board with this?

I'm not seeing enough appreciation here for the Dobson's leadership.

They are doing their damned best to see to it that the hypocrisy involved in the Nationalists' Prayer Day is restricted to the Bible worshiping fundamentalists of the Republican party.

Helping to contain the contagion in that way is, all things considered, beneficial.

In that way the people who take the life and teachings of Jesus seriously are less likely to get compromised by the Dobsons' blatant self-promotion, and by their commitment to the satanic cause of American nationalism.

There's too many people in this country who do not understand the separation between church and state and how dangerous it is not respect those boundries especially when you see Catholics and Christians being so intolerant and exclusive. I don't understand what makes anyone think that it was Obama's duty to attend what was essentially a religious prayer meeting an exclusive meeting with the members and the officiates deciding who is holy enough to be in their midsts (Jesus did hang with some unsavory characters). It's no wonder so many Americans have fallen away from their religion. So far all I see from the protestants and catholics is campaign stumping from their pulpit on one subject the "rights of a fetus" without worrying that the so called pro-life party loves to start wars that kill and maim so many on both sides. I see the whole stinking bunch of self-righteous "followers" as being as dangerous as any other extremists from any other religion they just want us all to fall in line with their beliefs. This country was founded on freedom of religion and whorship (or not to whorship) so I prefer that the religious types stop preaching to the rest of us, besides many of you are racist, misogynist, belicose and don't even care about the environment. What some of the christians want to happen in this country is a revival of Spanish Inquistion.

The issue is defining it. If it's a national day of prayer then everyone who prays to a God/gods Should have been there, if it's a national day of Prayer for Christians Only then no. He is the President and has to seperate church from state but if all who wanted to pray were welcome he should have been there. I personally look at a national day of prayer the way I look at Valentine's Day. If you truly love the person your with you shouldn't need a special day to prove by spending money and going out because of the day it is. You should express your love to that person everyday. Prayer should be an everything day thing as well, Making one day out of the year to promote prayer in my mind says the other 364 days of the year it's not as important. Well I don't like that idea personally.
