Praying is great. I simply don't need the President, Congress or Supreme Court suggesting or telling me to engage in religious devotion.
So ignore them if they do.

Well, it's nice to know you don't need it. Don't listen, that is your right. I do need it and like it, as do thousands of other Christian Americans. That is OUR right.
And by the way...you have still failed to cut and paste the part in the Constitution where it orders the separation of church and state. Are you having trouble finding it?
Why not? Just because of their position, they don't have to censor their own religious beliefs. They still have them, and if they want to encourage people to pray, or any other good thing, I'm all for it!
I just discussed this article and the posts that followed it with a friend of mine who is a card-carrying member of the ACLU and a proud supporter of John Kerry...he agrees you need to get over it.
When the President endorses a particular religion, or says if you don't pray, you'll be shot dead in the street, then I'd worry. Also, I noticed that it's not the hurricane victims who are upset at the thought of people praying for them.
