“Who do these people think they are trying to alter natural events and occurrences?”, exclaimed Wilber Dunfast representing the Citizens for a FREE Society. “It isn’t enough that they want to pray in schools, at football and other sporting event. That’s bad enough but now they want to influence natural, global events!

Kin Ah get an AMEN!!!!

Either omniscient God makes perfect decisions or praying can influence him to change his mind. Which is it?

Maybe all our prayers lifted up for these people can alter the storms that are in their hearts and souls!

Thanks for the update Dvan.
Seems that not all our prayers were answered... if this bunch of hateful,uncaring,intolerant old fuddy duddys are still around to mouth their silly opposition to normal folks doing private personal religious practices.
Then again,maybe some other appropriate fate is being saved for this bunch.

I certainly HOPE so.

(Notice, I did'nt say "pray" ?)

Funny isn't it? No one was asked to pray who didn't want to pray. Wonder why they are so offended? I will pray if I want to and they don't have to pray if they don't want to. Seems easy to me. Thought we lived in a Free Country!

' "O.R. Freely, representing Citizens for Removing God From Society raged, “ If there is a God He gave man FREE Will! He should stay out of our affairs entirely! Every time these people see a problem they run to God, as though they can’t handle it themselves!” '

I am not niave. I know there are truly many people like this man in this world.

What is so ironic - His comment 'if there is a God he gave them Free Will' - how can you believe in Free Will without believing there is a God? Free Will is definetly a Christian term - and if he does not believe, funny he should qoute something that has no meaning to him.

I truly feel sorry for this man and all who stand with him - as one day he will be judged, and his Free Will to deny God all these years will be revoked.

Further, one thing No One can do is stop people from praying. Yes, people do turn to God in times of crisis - now if they will only start turning to Him in good times as well - then the Glory will come back to this society.

We cannot handle things ourselves - contolling things on our own has caused these problems in the first place. When God is taken out of schools, government and society - it is then that satan runs rampant and things fall to the ground.

Has there not been enough devastation since 9/11 and before for people to see that turning away from God is the problem - not leaning on Him more?

Protest away, Citizen Group Against Prayer - one day you will find yourself in an hour of need - and guess who will be there for you - even though you do not deserve it? Remember, the harder you push Him away - the harder the Christians in this world push to bring Him more and more into the world's view.

Congratulations for bringing His name to the attention of some who may not know Him, but will choose to open their hearts to Him! What a great witness you have been !JK

Odd statement, coming from the same side that blames it all on Global Warming.
