House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered remarks in Statuary Hall
on 7 May to celebrate the National Day of Prayer, an annual day
of observance designated by Congress in 1952.
"As you pray for our country today, we thank God for His acts of
salvation and provision and deliverance", he said. "Let's also pray
that we may have the strength, just as our Founders did, to hand
the baton of faith and freedom onto the next generation that follows
us, a generation that cherishes liberty and proclaims proudly what
is right and good and true".
"Prayer's been a part of our DNA since the very beginning. So, it's
fitting that we do this formal tradition, established by Congress...
and it reaffirms something that's so important that really goes to
the heart of who we are as Americans: We are a praying nation.
We always have been. It truly is part of who we are".
"We know that prayer is where the impossible happens. We know
it's where we find solace and stay anchored in our faith, even through
challenges and even through the storms, and that is indeed how we
have endured".
"Our Founders did their best to set up our nation in accordance with
His guidelines and principles... that is why God has blessed America
for 250 years... and we seek God's guidance through the words of
scripture and the invocation of prayer".

What a sad and pathetic commentary on the state of the American political
mind. That one of its most senior governing politicians actually believes this
sort of incredible bullshit about prayer. And even worse that he, literally,
preaches this drivel to the American people. And all the more nonsensical
considering the parlous state of the United States economy and its daily
descent from its former glory as the world's most respected and powerful
country.
Will the 115 million religiously unaffiliated Americans
accept this sort of crap from someone like Johnson?
I note that the Republican Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending
Freedom (ADF), a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, and sat
on the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist
Convention prior to entering politics. Say no more.

I'm a creationist... I believe that man created God.
