Political Wire publisher Taegan Goddard got a lot of flack on Twitter after mocking Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for claiming he could discern God’s will, only to admit that he had no idea Christians believed they could communicate with God through prayer.
It all began with a rather snarky tweet about Walker’s comments that he was still waiting for “God’s calling” before he announced a presidential run.
[snip]
As Goddard received criticism from religious followers, he shot back at critics by claiming that he wasn’t showing disdain for people of faith, even as his tone became more and more sarcastic.

Eventually, Goddard betrayed his ignorance of basic Christian beliefs, when he seemed genuinely confused that Walker believed prayer could be used to communicate with God.

I am not for Scott Walker or against Scott Walker.
I just felt a need to say that before I say this.
I was an atheist at the time when I prayed to God and asked Him to save my life, and He did.
I do not know of any other way to speak with God other than through prayer.
This article is infuriating.

He thinks it’s the same as communicating with his God, Lord Obama through Twitter.

shalom Aleichem, yes, doesn’t that mean “kick the ass of the atheist”?
No, the answer to people like this is not violence. That would utterly prove what he would mockingly claim Christians are about.

I wonder if that same liberal would mock a bunch of mooslims kneeling on prayer rugs.
Of course not! That would be politically incorrect to mock a mooslim for his faith.
But a Christian? Have at it!
