well, since prayer doesn't work (if only we could ask the victims of 911 if it worked for them), i say it's just another day with no meaning and has come and gone already, what's the point?

belladevine, I went to one of the links posted and saw this:

quote:

The National Day of Prayer provides an opportunity for all Americans to pray voluntarily according to their own faith

I've already outed myself as a Christian here

so I'll toss in my two cents.

I don't need a National Day of Prayer that "provides an opportunity...to pray voluntarily..." I pray whenever and however I want, already. For me, this would be pointless.

It wouldn't be a special day for my God, because everyone's god would be prayed to.

I count Christmas and Easter as each being two holidays in one, the fun stuff and the religious. I don't have a problem with the fun stuff being national holidays, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny...the rest is between me and my God and I want government to stay out of my religious life, however well intentioned some politicians may be.

Besides, it would be redundant. The government already provides many opportunities for prayer...our public school systems give tests on the same days all over the nation, right?

As long as we have tests, there will always be prayer in schools.

I can't figure out why anyone would want to have a generic day of prayer passed. If someone has to be reminded to pray at least one day per year, I'd assume they had issues with their god that was none of my business, that they didn't believe in any god...or that their beliefs didn't include prayer.

The school my son was in did this every day. It was a public school, 3rd grade, but the teacher decided that each kid needed to bow their head and pray each day, at a set time in her classroom. Half the year went by before I found out. I was angry. My religious beliefs state that my God gave this job to me...and she had gone behind my back. She said that this was generic prayer time, that's supposed to make it all right. I had two issues with that, one, she had a Christian prayer in big letters posted on the wall to guide children in how to pray, second, there were children of different faiths in the classroom and none of their prayers were posted around the room.

If this holiday passes, schools will enforce it.

Some people might be very against others' religious holidays, nevertheless their children come home from public schools with Santa Claus crayon drawings, or at least Christmas trees and stuff, etc. It's hard on some already, to feel that they have religious freedom in this country...which we sometimes forget includes the right to have no religious beliefs at all.

Using fast reply...

I gotta say.........isn't having a national day of prayer kinda like the shit of February 14th? One day to spend money on over priced crap to say I love you. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want some organized 'one day a year' to do something I do damned near every day.

National day of prayer!....What will the morons think of next?

Obama publicly announced that he is a christian.

I say he is a liar! Do not trust him!

I agree.

And he's probably circumcised too.

You know that causes males to habitually lie.

I'm not sure but I think there must be a truth gene in the foreskin that when removed causes this type of behavior.

Priceless !!!!
Best post of the thread.

No she didn't. She has quite clearly stated that she is careful who and what she trusts when opening anything - which is prudent. There is a bit of a difference in the your interpretation to what was said.

I repeat. She said it in another post that was started by another person on different topic. NOT THIS POST!
She habitually comments on posts and is unaware of what people are discussing because she does open the links.

Are you having any "startup fights" or compatibility issues running 2 firewalls and 3 virus detectors at once? Doing that will often lead to performance hits.

Since the National Day of Prayer is effectively the National Day of Evangelical Christian Prayer, I've got no use for it myself.

Its not a holiday... just a national day... like eat an eclair day, or National Nurses day.

And its already passed.... oh its only been around and on the books since 1952. Funny how people just started to notice it.

I am not a nurse and I don't eat eclairs (very Often).

Nurses don't need a day, eclairs don't need a day and people do not need a day to pray.

I am sick of religion being forced down my throat.

Christmas, easter, valentines, hanukkaha, even Martin luther king should not have a day.

We as Americans should recocnize INDEPENDENCE DAY and THAT'S ALL!

Prayers are like wishes. Wishes do not come true by believing in them.

If you want something, hard work and intelligence will get you what you want.

If you want to be a slave to ignorance then say your prayers on your own lazy time.
