    I’ve never kept my religious outlook a secret here. The public expression of ones beliefs is not pushing it upon anyone. Religious speech is as protected as any other form of speech. The public free exercise there of is also protected. There is no legal or constitutional manner in which you can destroy a religion or a denomination that you disagree with no matter your issue with them.

    Some didn’t share the wisdom or logic or lack of bias like you did. That it was a news headline and not in their opinion section didn’t click in between the ears of some…

    If you threaded a hard news article as I did here with this one that was from an atheist perspective, I’d read it and might comment on it to.

    Thanking God for President Trump is NOT worshipping Trump.

    I don’t have to destroy it — the religious right is doing it

    Christianity has gone from mostly wanting to practice their worship to now saying everyone else must also abide by their beliefs.

    We see it with government funded adoption agencies, issues around women's rights, same sex marriage, medical refusals and so on.

    It has been turned into a weapon of hate and it hasn’t gone unnoticed

    As each generation is less religious than the prior and they do not groom their children so will the next generation be less religious.

    And religion requires grooming to propagate itself.

    Bitterly clinging as your messiah once said. And proudly so!

    That's called putting hands on someone to pray over them, It's something that Christians believe in so it's probably not something that you would understand well.

    Now if you want to see worship I can go to YouTube and get the video of little school children singing Obama's praises if you'd like.

    The Bible says that it will be this way and get worse in the last days. One abomination after another committed by those who are not of the faith. Then when the natural consequences and the withdrawal of the angels holding back the whirlwind, people will start a turn back to god movement only to be sucked into the imposter imitation by the great deceiver and the double down upon actual believers will double down into the tribulation until the seven last plagues and the 2nd coming in the clouds that every eye will see.

    No, that is laying on of hands to pray for Gods blessing for him, not worshipping him. Anymore for me to debunk for you?

    I prefer Stephen King…

    He has far more talent than the amateurs who wrote your scary stories…

    The bible says that people claiming to know and understand it pervert it’s words to push their own agendas slowly causing others to turn against the god they claim to represent?

    Sounds pretty accurate to me.

    You can call it whatever you want.
    It looks like a cult — because it is.

    Those appear to be people that support the president to me. How about that video of the little school kids singing the praises to Obama?

    " Black and yellow red and white, all are equal in his sight....hmm hum hummm, Barack Hussein Obama "

    The difference between praying for and praying too is hard to grasp?

    religious freedom is not just for Christians, it means the government will not push Christianity on the people either

    believe what you want, just don't discriminate against those that believe differently

    "“With some exceptions, the majority chose to keep its expressions of faith or its opinions on issues related to life, marriage and the family from a Christian doctrine perspective private because they had witnessed sanctions or prosecutions to which colleagues or peers had been subjected,” the report added."

    most American choose not to discuss religions or politics at work or family gatherings... and we all know why, some people can't handle others disagreeing with their religious or political views

    Yes, children that had never seen a president that looked like them. How horrible

    Adults hoping the lying (pride) obese (sloth/gluttony), adulterous (lust), bankrupt billionaire (greed) president that always sought to punish his enemies (wrath) and praised dictators (envy) could force their agenda unto the United States — well, that is certainly something isn’t it.
