Sounds like you imply I'm being sacrilegious.  Sorry, I certainly didn't mean to be.  I was trying to say that "prayer" can be thought of in two senses: wishing, asking, and venerating in words/thoughts -- and also taking action to make the world better or to reduce suffering.

That photoshop was distinctly messianic and abhorrent.

Trump is no messiah. He’s likely more of a pied piper. No matter what he says, his supporters follow. If you want to go to scripture, look up “blind guides.”

I don’t know what he would do as President, and neither do you. Hillary would be, using Trump’s favorite word, a “disaster.” Trump, held accountable, might be a competent President, but he’s no spiritual leader or example.

Go back and read through this thread and watch the adoration of a clay-footed man. It’s downright alarming.

And we laughed at the Obamite fervor and Greek columns in 2008.

No, not in any way. Just suggesting there is ‘something’ uncommon, uncanny, unusual, that seems to be taking place behind the scenes. Persons who have that ‘third eye’ and are now aware they can see with it. Call this whatever, the awakening of a new sense of perception. Prayer, praying is very personal. Where, when, how often, how intense, silently or loudly varies individually. When prayers are answered one wants to inform all who will listen. Prayers at times can be answered in ways we fail to see and though we are unaware, prayers have indeed been answered when the result is at last known. It is as though we are being taught to think beyond the logical, the common, and follow the process to view the end result. The road to the destination is of as much value/reward as the destination itself. We are but children who are constantly being taught.
