One time at a UT football game, someone prayed to the insects and bugs.I've been around people who pray to a god which is not YHHY. The courteous thing to do is to be quiet and not interrupt an act they consider sacred. It's also normal to understand not everyone prays, prays the same, or prays to the same being. There is no reason to be irritated by it.
go back and check it. I never said it was unconstitutional. all I said was separation of church and state. McDad brought up the Constitution. to which I responded prayer was a bad idea whether or not its in the Constitution.Of course it's pandering but since when is pandering unconstitutional as you have erroneously claimed.
This is nothing new Fox News reported on it 3 yrs back...I'll have to see that one...
what does me thinking Trump having a prayer in a meeting is a bad idea have to do with being any sort of libertarian? this isn't their private lives, this is them as government officials. and despite the claims to otherwise there is no way this board would be ok with a muslim prayer, or a prayer to satan in the same circumstances.I thought you were all "libertarian"? Please tell me you are not going all liberaltarian like most libertarians are. I don't think it's wise to ever assume what is in someone's heart, good or bad. If you think he/they are virtue signaling that's fine. But to declare with 100% certainty that they are not genuine, that's your problem not theirs.
what do you not understand about they are public figures, not pastors at a church?What do you not understand about freedom of and not freedom from?
Libertarian ideology is to let people do what they want as long as it isn't harming anyone. Unless you are on Luther's side and it hurts your feelings seeing people pray in public then it isn't harming anyone. Being offended by someone praying isn't Libertarian whether one is an atheist, agnostic, or a person of ANY faith.what does me thinking Trump having a prayer in a meeting is a bad idea have to do with being any sort of libertarian? this isn't their private lives, this is them as government officials. and despite the claims to otherwise there is no way this board would be ok with a muslim prayer, or a prayer to satan in the same circumstances.
your argument is that you trust a bunch of politicians, social media influencers, and millionaires/billionaires when they are selling Jesus to you; and questioning them is the more assumptive move than flat trusting them?
any of those clowns walked outside and told us the sky was blue, I would check before I believed them. Trump sells gold plated bibles and you think he has found Jesus in some meaningful way. like I said, the Bible teaches against the very thing Trump is doing if you want to take the religious side of the argument.
