I guess some people always mock the unknown, and this is unknown to you.
You don't know me so stop suggesting that I know nothing about prayer and religion. I was raised Catholic and practiced for close to 20 years.
And last I checked, there is separation of church and state in this country. His heavy promotion of this event of prayer in front of US flags in a suit, presenting himself as a government official comes uncomfortably close to violating that principle. And I'm fine with him doing whatever he wants in the privacy of his home but using this as a tool for solving major problems is truly laughable to me. I don't recall the last time the CEO or senior team at my job asked me to join them in prayer groups at work in order to face the challenges of our organization. They get paid, like Governor Perry, to solve problems without magic.
It's funny how you keep sticking up for this supposed devout Christian. The same man perfectly fine with having an innocent man executed for political reasons. What a truly wonderful human being he must be.
And 90% or more of the people ok with his "call for prayer" would have serious issues if Obama or another politician had a call for prayer at a mosque.
