Democrats in Congress have declared war on prayer, say conservative groups who object to a provision in the stimulus bill that was passed by the House of Representatives last week.

The provision bans money designated for school renovation from being spent on facilities that allow "religious worship." It has ignited a fury among critics who say it violates the First Amendment and is an attempt to prevent religious practice in schools.

Why do Democrats hate Christianity?

Because they have NOBOUDARIES in life.

They HATE Christians who do.

People who have BOUNDARIES that are Christian BOUNDAIRES infuriate them. It makes the godless FEEL inferior so they push for NO BOUNDARIES.

Notice that Christianity is really the only religion that the left/Satan attacks...

because it’s the only real threat that he has.

No, he wants $120 billion for secular schools only. I want NOTHING for ANY schools, and $120 billion in tax cuts instead.

Prayer is what keeps this nation alive. Without prayer, this nation would have collapsed already. Thank G-d for Bible believers prayer for the United States.

Good for you.... But you don’t get it. We are coming here to find out what the news of the day is!

Why would I or anybody else know to come home from work and search these key words “Conservative Groups Declare Obama’s Stimulus Bill a War on Prayer” ... especially since we did not know it was a story?

Can you tell me right now what the key words will be tomorrow in order for us to find out the news? Can you tell me NOW what the key words we should search on Friday?

If so, you should play the lottery.
