Good, it was an explicit pronouncement of Christian preference.  It's understandable that so many Christians are apprehensive about their steel grip being eased off this country.  But they have to remember that it is not just their country and an appeal to majority is not a legitimate claim to dominance.  That's the same logical fallacy used against black people getting rights as well.  It's a real test of character to be able to stand for what's right even when you don't have to.  And we all know Christians could easily force us down an even more insane path, but we thankfully have well-rounded Christians like Obama in high posts.

There is nothing inherently Christian about prayer or the National Day of Prayer.  And your distrust of Christians is extremely disturbing.

Because history is sure on the side of Christians being peaceful and restrained in the hands of extreme power.  What is it about my distrust so "extremely disturbing"?  Those are some strong words.

And let's not pretend it isn't all about Christians, that much is obvious.  Regardless, there is something inherently religious about prayer, something the United States is not.  Every American should be able to call the government theirs, millions cannot with things like this in place.

Wow, I was fully ready to come back to this and have a field day, but you guys are doing a pretty good job exposing the religious side's shoddy appeal to majority.
