nor does it harm non-religious people IN ANY WAY.

Excuse me, but establishing a 'National Day of Prayer for Americans' is estabishing that prayer is the thing for Americans to do on that day. This means that anyone who decides not to pray on that day is not doing the right 'thing' and the "for Americans" bit also implies that if you don't pray then somehow you are not American.

Didn't we have someone back in the Sixties who went on about being "Un-American". That idiot and his followers hurt a lot of people and it seems like we're heading in that direction again.

'You pray when I tell you to' Says the leader of the country.

It's a short step from there to saying "and if you don't".

I sincerely hope that everyone who voted for him, went down on their knees and prayed at his command.

Bert.
