(1,703 posts)Jesus says, "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
Public prayer like this is a spectacle that does nothing but show you these folks are not reading their bibles.

(3,894 posts)but hey, how about you just select the one the works for you for this instance, like wingers do, so you can say their religion is wrong.
ACA isn't about religion, it was about HEALTHCARE.
As much as the OP doesn't bother me, because it shows prayer/religion has nothing to do with this, but the responses to date are just as inane as the pray-ers in the OP pic.

However, you take the route that gets you through. We all need health care, regardless of our religious beliefs or non-beliefs.

"Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here's a good seat for you,' but say to the poor man, 'You stand there' or 'Sit on the floor by my feet,' have you not discriminated among yourselves and becomes judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him? But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?" James 2:2-6
