fundies praying outside the RNC headquarters today in Union County, NC
I drove by, they were out there praying. (This is right next to Mecklinburg County where Charlotte is located.)

I almost wrecked trying to figure out what they were looking at on the sidewalk 'til I figured it out.

(As an aside, I just realized I am now watching CNN for entertainment value. They seem torn. They have covered the Bush hump twice in five minutes, it's so funny to watch them skirm, because of course they want to pour calumney on this story yet they are salivating for the scoop if it's true, it's fun to watch.)

Anyway, preacher dude holding bible, citizen fundies praying. I'd like to think they were praying against the repukes, but that is not likely.

1. Jesus was really into praying in public....

...wasn't that a big part of his sermon on the Mount?

3. No, he was completely against it.
Matthew 6:5-7

5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites : for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
