For the love of God...

Enough, already. If your God is so powerful, he doesn't need to be state-sponsored. So stop whining and go enjoy your beliefs with like-minded people. It is not the end of the world that the President didn't open up the White House to the National Day of Prayer Task Force. Obama issued a proclamation, exactly as his predecessors did, but that ain't enough for the religious right. Why? Who knows? Maybe they just have a compulsion with persecution and aren't satisfied unless they are trying to convince themselves and others they are on a figurative cross like their savior.

Although I believe it may very well be a sign of end times that we actually have a "task force" for prayer.

And someone please slap Elisabeth Hasselbeck and explain to her that no one is stopping anyone from getting together and praying as they see fit. They just aren't allowing a stupid "task force" in the White House to do it, because it's not the place of Congress or the Executive to do anything that might be misconstrued as the establishment of religion.

To those of you who say that's ridiculous, no one would think letting the task force in to pray was the Government promoting a certain religion, I would point you to the idiots who feel not letting them in is somehow an attack on their faith. Man up and stop trying to generate your own bulletin board material. Take some of that energy and go out and do some of those good works we always hear about. We could use some more of those.

I didn't even know there WAS such a thing. Does this mean that my prayers on this day will come true? And if so what if my prayer involves Beyonce and a can of Readi-Whip?

I am ashamed you didn't at least through in a tiny prayer for a Dolphins Superbowl win.

Sometimes I feel like I don't even know you...
