OP, is your objection that elected officials publicly prayed for their Country? i'm just not sure if your object to this is because its Christian? Because its publicly religious(not JUST Christian)? Because it involves faith? i'd just like to understand what offended you.
First of all, let's be clear who we're talking about here. These are the same people who, a couple of hundred years ago, were burning women at the stake for having too many cats. The exact same people. The only reason they're not still doing it is because those fucking libruls have gone and passed a law against burning people at the stake, so they've grudgingly adopted a different methodology. For the time being, anyway.
They're not praying for their country, they're praying against their fellow human beings. It's not a question of faith - it's a question of basic human values, and these people have none. 2 million of their fellow citizens - the people these legislators were elected to represent - are driven to bankruptcy every year by crushing medical costs, and tens of thousands each year die because they can not afford adequate health care. And the ignorant savages in this video are praying to their god to protect the system that allows this, so that insurance companies can continue to make 200 billion dollars a year in profits and the CEOs of those companies can continue to make an annual mean salary of over $12 million. That's the problem I have with them.
Let me ask you something - you're a person of deep religious conviction (which I respect greatly, believe it or not.) How do you reconcile that? How do you reconcile that much human suffering for the sake of corporate profits greater than the gross national product of most countries? Where is the christianity in that? Because that is exactly what these people are praying for. How does that fit what you consider to be christian principles? I'm genuinely curious.
Wow, and yet they look so young. Simply amazing. So how did they stay alive so long and why haven't we heard about it till now?
As to the op, yea people pray about all kinds of things. I had a friend who used to pray on a regular basis, that his church would not find how kinky he was and tell him he can't be a deacon anymore. He used to also pray that his kids would not find out he was screwing around on their mother. Not sure how God would have processed that prayer. But then again he was a liberal, so I guess it's ok. Now if he had been a republican that alone would have proved what asshats the right wingers are.
