God Save Us!
Found this is my work e-mail today:
FOR ALL OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN, WHOM WE SUPPORT, FIGHTING ON THE FRONT LINE.....presidentialprayerteam.org.
O.K. I’m game. Here is the membership application form. Presumably official membership will help provide a greater assurance that your subsequent prayers will reach their intended audience.
Now before I go and break my personal first rule of blogging that of “Not stepping on too many toes”, let me state that none of my maniacal (read really weird) sense of humor is meant in any way to disrespect anyone’s religious beliefs.
Having said that (Someone blogged about this choice of words so naturally I just had to use it.), I have a few comments.
Fundamentally(no pun), I have absolutely no problem with this site as long as they claim to be politically independent. This, they do. Here. And here is their mission “statement of faith” complete with a biblical bibliography.
Although I’m a card-carrying semi-pro PAGAN, I did grew up the Methodist Church. I guess that makes me one of good guys. All patriotic and stuff. If you aske me does the country need to doing any praying for the president and the country as a whole I’d say, “HELL YEAH!!!” First and foremost I’d ask God would he PLEASE provide Dubya with some semblance of divine guidance? Now dubya claims to have been “born again”. Nothing wrong with that.
But I have personally come to the conclusion that dubya either
Doesn’t pray,
God doesn’t answer dubya’s particular flavor of prayer, or, more likely,Dubya just doesn’t give a rat’s ass. Now for my long awaited final comment.
Not to ignore the presidential prayer needs of children, the site provides a page for them as well. 13 years old seems to be the determining age when children differentiate between being little-little people and big-little people.
Forgive me but isn’t the current spin on internet pedophiles and the like that we, as parents, should be teaching our children the art or preserving one’s personal privacy. To that end maybe providing total strangers with one’s e-mail address together with their relative age is probably not the brightest idea. Presumably the argument goes something like, “These are well-respected religious pontiffs so it must be alright. Right? Hmm.
