Biden omits God from National Day of Prayer (compare, money, states)

[TMSRetired]

I don't think it matters one bit if Biden is religious or not.

He says what they want him to say and that is all that matters.
The shift in the US is away from religion..specifically christianity.

We need to prioritize a bunch of other things before religion. I don't need the government to keep me close to God.

Couldn't rep you again, yet.

Hindi?

Oops Hindi is a language related to sanskrit. Hinduism is what I should have typed. Although, I think even saying Hinduism isn't even then correct way to say the belief system but close enough for this board.

If an individual wants to pray to the Christian God, they can do that without government prompting them.

Maybe read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence our other Founding documents, inscriptions on public buildings, the swearing in of elected officials, witnesses, our Money and a plethora of other government institutions that mention God. Then reflect on your desire to make the U.S. the Soviet Union.

Who says? Not the Constitution nor any other document. Guess what. You're wrong. Feel free to remain Godless though but you can't make everyone else bend to your will. Typical Control Freak Leftist.

Agreed but it’s a selling point to both parties.

So? Religion has no basis in politics, there should be no national day of prayer. It’s a farce.

Whose god? Is the god mentioned in and on all those you cited any god? The God of Abraham?

That covers many of us. But what about the rest?

Just make that god anything anybody wants to believe is the creator?

This is the 4th paragraph of the proclamation. Seems appropriate to me, what's all the fuss about?


What's important to me is that I am able to say my prayers and practice my religion. I feel so blessed to be in a country that allows for religious freedoms.

On this National Day of Prayer, we unite with purpose and resolve, and recommit ourselves to the core freedoms that helped define and guide our Nation from its earliest days. We celebrate our incredible good fortune that, as Americans, we can exercise our convictions freely — no matter our faith or beliefs. Let us find in our prayers, however they are delivered, the determination to overcome adversity, rise above our differences, and come together as one Nation to meet this moment in history.
