Today is actually the national day of prayer here in the USA a day when that
one religious segment of the country, albeit a majority, gets some pseudo-official
sanction as the one true religion of this country no matter what our
constitution says. This seems pretty
unreasonable, but probably it will be found constitutional as has the phrase that
was only recently inserted into our pledge of allegiance and put on our money,
which isn’t for religious purposes, or to promote one particular religion, wink, wink, but just see who howls if you
try to remove it. Today will allow the
sanctimonious to declare that all of our national problems would be solved if only we
were more religious, and prayed more, or at least were reasonable enough to let the most
religious run things the way they wish. Could we pray that the sanctimonious learn that theocracies
of all flavors have a terrible track record on human rights and freedoms, the
kind of things that keep blogs like this from being declared blasphemous
because it might hurt someone’s religious feelings? Is that
being unreasonable? Now if we all would
just pray for reason to prevail, and our prayers were answered, would religion just totally disappear thus proving the power
of prayer once and for all, but when it’s too late? There must be some paper clips to sort or
something else even less useful to do rather than think about this.
