When I go to gatherings where people pray, I just look around and wait for the invocations to some invisible cloud being to cease. The reason? People like this:
"New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion — it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there — and now we're going to start over again."
While it's not fair to tar all christians with the same brush, this guy pretty much blackens the name, teachings, and spirit of something that's not supposed to espouse any of that crap. Frankly more violence has been perpetrated in the name of religion than any other single thing in the history of civilization. If it weren't for the wholesale hypocrisy of the whole scam, there might be something to that "love your neighbor" stuff...unfortunately, most modern christian leaders seem to be upset about brotherly love, unless it's supported by a sizeable donation, or sanctioned by a televangelist (who will have gotten their donation in advance, in bulk).
I don't expect to hear a peep of condemnation from Preznit DryDrunk, because that might actually be the right thing to do and the Flying Spaghetti Monster forbid, our Beloved Leader would ever do the right thing. Unless it was what a campaign contributor told him was the right thing.
