cinyc, that's an appeal to tradition. It's a logical fallacy.

Why would Thanksgiving be next?  Its not a religious holiday. 

It's inherently religious, though not promoting any particular religion.

Obama: "We are NO LONGER a Christian Nation"

Hmm, now when did Obama say this? I'd obviously applaud him if he did but you are just fabricating things as usual aren't you?

True.  Obama did say that, sort of.  Stumbling over his words and initially forgetting to say just.

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_obama_say_we_are_no_longer.html

Umm, okay.

There is a tape out there of Obama saying exactly what jfcmst claims he did - if edited out of  context.  Taking remarks out of context... .

Actually, here is the exact quote, I did NOT edit his words: "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation – at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers."

Imagine if King David had proclaimed that to Israelites and lifted up other gods to the same level of the one true God- God would have wiped him and them off the face of the earth.

I may be forgetting my Old Testament, but I don't believe God smote Solomon.

So, you do not believe that church and state can be separated? That's interesting...

The people who settled the United States were a Christian people.

So?

Christianity is part of our nation's heritage, and of its national character. To deny this is foolish.

OK. What's your point?

So Christianity should be recognized as part of this National Day of Prayer.

Does not follow.
