You slight prayer.
Maybe so, but there are people who think they can pray and be done with it. And this is a deadly danger to the conservative cause. Too often, prayer-only can be an excuse for cowardice and inaction.
After all, if prayer were all that mattered, there would be no need to do anything for any reason.
I'm also reminded of a comment that Lincoln supposedly made about the Civil War: "I would like to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky."
One does not preclude the other.
