Day of Prayer Ruled Unconstitutional

What the heck is the point of a 'day of prayer' anyway?

[Joe Republic]

Wait wait wait.  Thanksgiving is supposed to be giving thanks to God?!  I've always been giving thanks to the Indians who helped out the Christian settlers, shortly before we largely wiped them out and sent them to live on 'reservations'.  I've never given thanks to "God", and I doubt I would even if I believed in such a thing.

Nope, it's God; you were wrong.

Haha, I don't really care what you religious folks get up to, but I'll do it the way I want, ok?  It's a pretty stupid and hypocritical holiday, in any case.

Like I said, you religious folks can do what you want.  Besides, the origins of both holidays are secular, were then adopted by Christians for their own ends, and eventually became secular again.  You just need to accept that.

[Joe Republic]

Aw, bless.  You've given yourself a point in your imaginary scoreboard, haven't you?

Or perhaps not.  I never claimed to have not recognized the religious element of Thanksgiving.  My point is that, like Christmas, any religious background has been shoved back out of the secular mainstream.  I've never given thanks to "God" at that time of year.
