In 1952 Congress established National Day of Prayer and in 1988 they set the first Thursday in May as the day for presidents to issue proclamations asking Americans to pray.
A Federal Judge recently ruled that National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
To declare such a thing is in itself unconstitutional. There is a reason we have separation of Church and State in this country. This country stems from a Christian foundation. National Day of Prayer is a right and a freedom. The main thing this nation was founded on was the freedom to worship. We have the freedom OF worship, not freedom FROM worship. Immigrant groups traveled to America to flee religious conflict, what would they think of this country today? What would the Founding Fathers of this country think?
You can not take away someones right to pray. Prayer is between and individual and GOD and no one can make that unconstitutional. You can not outlaw prayer and at the same time allow Muslims to pray and worship on White house grounds.
I will pray that day. I will pray for my enemies. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
Very well said!!! I totally agree! I think it is outragous Obama held a Muslum prayer day AT the White House but said he will not hold National Day of Prayer at the White House...somthing just seems way to wrong with that to me.
