It sounds like Taegan Goddard is a blogger, not a reporter.

He's publicizing a news release from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and would have saved himself trouble if he'd made that clear from the beginning.

Interestingly, in the piece the OpEd writer praised Jeb Bush’s response to “Is Obama a Christian?” as being “adroit.”

Faking it for political reasons.

he seemed genuinely confused that Walker believed prayer could be used to communicate with God.

"Could be used"? That's what prayer is! It's as natural as breathing. You don't have to recite a certain phrase, be in a certain place or face in a certain direction. You just talk to Him, because wherever you are--I AM--He's there.

"Father, thank You for this day. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for providing for me. And most of all, thank You for forgiving me, in Jesus' Name."

That's it. As I typed, I didn't hear a voice answer, but I absolutely felt His love fill my heart. That's communication with God.

No amount of snarky tweets can diminish it.

Staring at their feet. In Hillary's case, at her hooves.

Well, those people are making a mockery of Christian faith.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” (Ps 14:1)

Psalm 74: “9 We are given no miraculous signs; no prophets are left, and none of us knows how long this will be.

10 How long will the enemy mock you, O God? Will the foe revile your name forever?

11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!

12 But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth.

I thought that’s what prayer is - communicating with God. Telling him your inner thoughts, worries, concerns, hopes, and trying to discern his response.
