Obama Prayer for Walkway to Inaugural Stage-End Date Error

[timms5000]

"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it." -John Adams

were some of the founding fathers christian? yes they most definitely were but to say that the early American leaders and framers of the constitution wanted it to be a "christian nation" is blatantly a lie.

[timms5000]

"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit." -Thomas Paine

[timms5000]

".... I began to doubt of Revelation itself. Some books against Deism fell into my hands; they were said to be the substance of sermons preached at Boyle's Lectures. It happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the Deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations; in short, I soon became a thorough Deist."

-Ben Franklin

[rusgrove]

If you are offended by this then I encourage you to read history. Read about the men the began this great nation. It was Ben Franklin that in order to end the endless arguments during the first continental congress implored all members to stop and pray for God's guidance. After that time of prayer they were able to give us the bill of rights. The day GOD is forcibly removed from our government is the day this country will cease to exist as the beacon of freedom and democracy for the world.

[tingtangs]

You are talking nonsense.

God has no place in government.

The founding fathers knew that. God was only introduced by force later.

[timms5000]

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law."

"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government."

"If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? ...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God. "

-Thomas Jefferson

[onenation62]

We, Christians, wouldn't expect you, non-believers, to understand. Satan makes you ignorant to the truth. It would be nice if you would understand what you are commenting on before you make your comments with so much error.

2Chronicles 7:14

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

[MattPorter7]

God Bless you

[rosco233]

Father forgive these comments for they know not what they do.

[houseofmeece]

oh = and separation of Church and State means that there will be no State run church - the government won't dictate what your religion is.

[houseofmeece]

Ok people.... when the plane landed in the Hudson river last week I watched the news coverage and was OVERWHELMED with the amount of people who said, "there was a lot of prayers during that time and we thank GOD for saving our lives"... ONE NATION UNDER GOD.... we will pray for our president regardless of our political beliefs cause I can promise you, when you hit crisis I know who you will be calling on.

[laubplaya]

Hail to the holy door!

[djp4him]

I don't see why you "non-Christians" have a problem with us praying for President Obama. If we are wrong in the end we lose nothing but if you are wrong in the end you face hell instead of heaven!

Before any of you geniuses bring up seperation of church and state that is just a myth.  Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it say that the church and state has to be seperated. It only says the government can't establish a church and force everyone to go to that church. Read it before you spew

[linuxpenguin73]

this sort of nonsense is endorsement.

Oh, and Pascal's Wager? really?

[YounaTuber]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[timms5000]

Pascal's Wager is actually a decent argument for some sort of belief...as far as that side of the argument goes. However, to me, if one decides to believe something because of a wager, than one doesn't really believe it.

and continuing the argument of pascals wager... one should believe which ever religion has the most fearsome hell.

[leafs4ever676]

Let me ask atheists a question, why do you hate this stuff so much?

I think it is because you know deep down that there is truth in what they are saying, and you can't handle it.

Why else are you so against christianity as opposed to any other faith, you see something more in christianity than just ritualistic human practice.

[neslock]

Christianity has always been shoved at us and given special privilege, as depicted here. This congressman has no business holding a prayer meeting and rubbing oil all over the walls of a government building like this. If he wants to be a pastor instead then that is what he should do, but the government is designed to be secular in nature. This principle protects Christians from being subject to a government controlled by any other religion, but Christians still just want to run everything.

[49511143021]

Big BANG speak volume's!!!

[49511143021]

Is it a fact that atheists invented science and all the books? LOL, they sound and act so.

[aversion2k]

Kind of scary.

[PaulyWard]

I think i'll start believing in god the moment the rapture happens. Until then, I'll be a free thinking individual.

[jakrum]

wow, this kinda freaked me out, is this satire?

[canadianshaitan]

Ahh...that old time religion!

Complete with magical rituals!

This differs from paganism...how?

[Taxorgian]

Most pagans are smart enough that they don't take it seriously.

[caliaa]

Their wallets dummy.

[ScootsMcKenzie]

I noticed that Mr. Broun is part of Gideon Ministries. I want to thank him for saving me. Once, at a motel near Villa Rica, GA I ate some tainted stew at a local restaurant. It had a bad reaction in my gut and I got the shits at 2 a.m. only to find no toilet paper left in the room. I remembered seeing a copy of the Gideon Bible in the nightstand drawer and rushed over to it. Apart from the pages being a little thin, they were perfect at absorbing all of my liquid fecal matter. Praise Jesus!

[Igor340]

Absolute gibberish - unfortunate that politicians don't have to take an IQ test before being elected to office.

And everyone already knows that the religious twits aren't the brightest bulbs in the box. . .

[MountThor]

The only way what Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia is doing is different than voodoo is that he is involved in making decisions about the future of the United States of America and the World. Most voodooists don't have that kind of power. It's very scary to see this type of man, Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia, in such a position of power. He can't even figure out that he believe in a myth, his invisible friend. Very sad. Very dangerous.

[bobx2x2]

Christians are idiots.

[lightupaJ]

so...how is this any different from voodoo again?

[pauzhaan]

Superstition and myth.

I don't get it.

[pmarie2003]

I'm nauseated.

[koeala]

Father forgive some of these comments for they do not know...

[Orlor]

I thought that we were past the need of superstitious shamens and witch doctors.

Apparently not.

[SaintJerome]

fucking disgusting. This is a secular country.

[samten54]

These fools should be allowed to have their prayer meetings but like brothels, only in industrial areas away from children and schools. Its the arrogance of the self righteousnesses that makes one sick. The more religious the bigger the mess.

[MillsApparatus]

Get your church out of my fucking state.

[umbulamidlun]

this looks like 3 mental patients being as crazy as they want to be near some random entrance to the asylum where they live.

i hope they went back to their rooms quietly. maybe a higher daily dose of reality might save them.

[Taxorgian]

Reality?  I think Paxil would be more effective...

[MountThor]

Why do those of you who need the crutch of god need it? Can't live in reality without your invisible friend? Can't handle real life without your mythology? Get real and grow up, please.

[MountThor]

Shocking attempt to insert Theology into a Secular Government. Hasn't Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia read the USA Constitution that separates State from Church? I gather not as he brings his "god" and silliness into an all too serious business. Keep this guy away from the nuclear button for he'll likely bring Hell to Earth.

[cds9781]

While I might disagree with this particular religious gesture, separation of Church and state is geared towards preventing a state imposed religion, it is not meant to remove religious dialogue from the public square.

[MountThor]

But people elected to government positions are not in the PUBLIC SQUARE since they are members in the cult of Government. They must not in any official capacity invoke their imaginary friends; each time they do they violate the separation of State from the crutch of theology that weak minded folks seem to need since they can't handle objective reality on their own. By standing in a State building Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia clearly committed a crime against the consitution on this video.

[TheSummerSquirrel]

It's unbelievable that this kind of ancient superstitious behavior is still common in the 21st century. When will science and critical thinking prevail? No soon enough.

[SpeciationEverywhere]

silly

[neslock]

Fundagelicals sure love the sound of their own voices. I couldn't make it all the way through this superstitious crap.

[Khalos44]

This nonsense should be no where near politics

[Keithjustinburton]

Crazy motherfuckers. We need to vote atheists and agnostics into office.

[grenangle]

I couldn't get through this but I have faved it. Its so insane.

[gildor67]

What next? Are they going to sacrifice a goat?

[DogBoots77]

The tragedy is that not everyone laughs at these guys...

[Revyloution]

I tried to watch it all, but the bile creeping up my throat made me shut it off.

I seriously fear that if nut jobs like this gained significant power in the US, free thinkers like me would be rounded up and put in 're-education camps' to correct our social failings.

Please read the establishment clause of the constitution. We need a secular government if were to survive as a nation.

[snappingbear]

Morons...a single pair of hands working is more useful than a billion clasped in prayer.

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Is this satire? (please tell me it is)

[rubberbandiv]

I can't believe people who believe in this manner actually run things in this country. Believing in some supernatural entity, fine. Believing that a specific version of a particular religion's prayers are a worthwhile expenditure of time for a government that works for people of ALL faiths (and those without) is insane. It is seriously bad for the country to spend so much time on this.

[Marcusisit]

They forgot to say, "Ooo-eee-ooo-aa-aa-ting-tang-w­alla-walla-bing-bang."

This is fucking ridiculous.

[Lagomort]

"They forgot to say, "Ooo-eee-ooo-aa-aa-ting-tang-w alla-walla-bing-bang."

This is fucking ridiculous."

BlahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­HHHAHAHAH!!

That freakin' ruled!!

[LunchAnderson]

What a bunch of nutjobs. You might as well invite the witch doctor N'kenga from the Buttcrack tribe to perform a magic dance for Obama. It's equally effective (that is, not at all) and much more spectacular.

[fly44d]

I feel sick also. What a bunch of backward witchdoctor mumbo jumbo. Pathetic. I sure hope Obama itn't serving anyone but the people of this country and not trusting in any magical sky deity.

[ggab7768]

The lord Jesus Christ created our country??

What the hell is wrong with these people?

[twidmer1976]

I feel sick.

[Lagomort]

How is prayer supposed to work? Are we supposed to try and persuade God to take a pathway that he wasn't going to?

[TheFitConnection]

Would these religious freaks please die off already?

[derekla21]

Ha! That's not good i shouldn't be laughing. But the lord jesus talk is a liiiiittle awkward. I couldn't keep a straight face. I wonder about the religious future of American culture

[osjb]

It doesn't hurt anyone. But it does concern me somewhat.

[anodyneryan]

these guys are nutty.

[AndrewMann552]

I thought we were living in the 21st Century, not in some episode of The Tudors.

[rickya2]

seriously

[rg0057]

These guys are engaged in spiritual terrorism.

[sorimOmiros]

Religion makes people crazy....this guy IS NUTS

[bbugmenott]

adults with invisible friends lol.

[HalfMooner]

Funny as hell!

What a trio of douche-bag fundy stooges. "Annointing" the doorway with magic oil! Those guys are outright witchdoctors, though not as coherent or scientific as a real shaman.

[jwazzz]

Not just any magic oil but magic oil from Jerusalem. That congressman is one scary dude.

[silvertears1984]

FREAK SHOW!!

[robertsmithies]

FREAKS!

Are you kidding me! Get those mo***r f***rs out of there! Jesus H Christ!

F***ing monkeys babbling.

[DigitalVG]

So I suppose the Neocons will have to concede he's not Satan if he doesn't burst into flames when he walks through the door. And that his actions are the will of God and they should abide by his rule in bliss because they're too ignorant to understand the way of god. Right?

[grenangle]

lmao obama bada bing bada boom. My money is on the ole "nothing fails like prayer" being proven yet again.

[AD7QQ]

Well, at least the congressman is a doctor who did house calls to the poor in Georgia. Unfortunately he also appears to be a nut.

[rg0057]

There's no one easier to convert than someone who is already looking to you for help.

[AD7QQ]

Yes, that could have been the motivation.

[josephk35]

You guys need to pray for a steadycam -- maybe Y'all should have annointed the camera instead ... at least it wouldn't be washed off before You "use it" ...

i would call You guys idiots except that this video made me laugh too much to be to very critical of You

although -- as funny as that bozo congress critter was -- we are still paying his salary -- and THAT part IS Scary ...

[pang5]

My goodness. These people do seem to love the sounds of their own voices.

[ralpha1961]

That was a really nice thing to do.

[earlygrayceisgod]

this is absolutely hilarious.

[shaktimandan]

Broun is the wack-job Conservative that compared Obama to the Nazi's and Marxists. This religious zealot should fuck off back to Georgia and take his snake oil nonsense with him.

Cunt.

[DigitalVG]

Hey dude. Don't foul up a sexy word like cunt with an asshole like that. Can't you tell by the smell what he is? Geez.

[jblackmuzic]

Either you believe or not this move in the new millenium is for mature people who can transition with change. Everything must and will change without doubt but the question is can we TRANSITION when times change or will you be still stuck in the pass.

[buckeyekarl]

What a bunch of idiots.

[remembersodom]

This is the most abominable thing I've ever witnessed from pro-life Christian "activists" . The anointing oil is only to be used on holy things that are consecrated to the Lord. Where was the call for Obama's repentance supporting child sacrifice and sodomy? Where was the call for his actual salvation? Would Elijah the prophet pray for such nonsense for King Ahab as these men have done? No, Obama is an expose' of the wicked hearts of the people of this nation. Mene Mene,Tekel, Upharsin!

[japanz1984]

shut up,whom are you to judge hater?

[sentforth5]

Go find another country to screw up, hater.

[sentforth5]

that is to japanz1984. Thanks a bunch for voting for a bisexual baby killin crackhead commie,jerk.

[pang5]

But did Ahab not eventually yea verily get his whale?

[Lagomort]

Remembersodom...

Actually, I do remember the story..

Lot takes in some angels he thinks are strangers and treats them as well as male family members. This is supposed to be his virtue.

He also tells a mob to leave the strangers alone, and if they did, they could have his virgin teenage daughters to do what they want with.

He later gave the crowd one of his lesser wives, and she was returned the next day to him dead. He then cut her up and buried the parts in different regions...

continued:

[Lagomort]

Now Lot goes to live in a cave with his daughters. They decide they need to repopulate the world (because they think they are alone) so he has sex with his daughters. Oh, he does have an excuse. He claimed they got him drunk. Let's look at that this way:

Judge: What is your plea Mr. Lot?

Lot: Well, I did offer my kids to strangers for sex, and let a crowd kill one of my wives, but I only had sex with my daughters in that cave because they got me all liquored up!!

Judge: Where's your Lawyer?

[remembersodom]

Nice compilation of stories. But they are filled with inaccuracies. Please read Genesis chapters 18 and 19. Then read Judges chapters 19 and 20. These are wo separate accounts, different times, different places, and different people. The only common thread is the rampant sodomy, and God's judgment that follows.

[Lagomort]

Go ahead remembersodom, correct my mistakes...

1. Did the righteous man "Lot" offer his Virgin daughters to a crowd for them to do as they will?

2. Did Lot have sex with his daughters?

3. Was it claimed by Lot that his daughters got him drunk and seduced him?

4. Was a lesser wife given to the crowd?

5. Did the lesser wife get killed by the crowd?

[highflier67]

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

I can't say it any better myself!!

[rg0057]

Of course you can't.

[robbytv]

I'm thinking of the book, "Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting", Derek Prince. What an awesome 'moment' this could be for America!!

[kutatishh]

That was sooo awesome! I'm excited for President Obama, and I pray God continues to strengthen him as he takes office. God's favor.
