“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." - Matthew 6:5-8 NIV
Even the likes of The 700 Club and the idiots pushing for forced prayer in schools, need to know this time and time again - and do what Jesus says.
How is this different from any other Fox News segment? This is just more transparent in being propaganda, by exposing the source of the money up front. All the other “news” Fox reports on is paid for by special interests to be reported with a particular spin. Has been since the inception of Fox. Evidenced by the lawsuits by the reporters against the company, the mentions that they aren’t the only news organization making the claims, and just Fucker Carlson in general.
I’m sure the viewers were relieved to have it laid out so clearly so they don’t have to fight the cognitive dissonance.
Famous people pushing religion are just carnival barkers reeling in the rubes. The bait is an app for getting your daily salvation reminder so you don’t forget to earn your gold ticket to heaven.
Peter Thiel...of course. It's like not only is he committed to being a terrible, miserable person; he also is committed to making all of us terrible and miserable in the exact same ways he is.
We already knew that Fox News was sold out to the Republican party. That's been a truism for decades. Now we're throwing in prayer. Next thing you know, they'll be promoting Christian Nationalism, if they aren't doing so already.
Fox News has always been a bad joke, but with this new wrinkle, the joke just got a lot worse.
In doing this, the foxies violated the commandment (2nd or 3rd, depending on translation/sect) about not taking their lord's name in vain. It does not mean cursing. It means using their god's name to no good purpose or for completely worthless reasons. Here they used it to benefit themselves. That pretty much defines 'no good purpose/worthless."
What’s really annoying are the app’s push notifications.
“It’s been five hours and you’ve fantasized 12 times about having non-marital sex that’s not open for life. Time for some prayer!”
“It’s 10pm. Don’t end your streak of daily rosaries!”
“Have you joined Friends and Family Confessional Tracking? Click here to sign up!”
Well we obviously need a Baptist Prayer App as Catholics are not really Christians.

There are few things I find more inspiring than watching the news-actors on Faux Noise engage in theatrical prayer to demonstrate their peity. /S

Peter Navarro has reported to prison. May we be able to say the same of Trump someday.
Hallow prayer app or Hollow prayer app?

Long past time for a rebrand. Fox "News" is nothing of the sort. It is the propaganda arm of the rightwing. The Christian rightwing in particular.
"The Hallow prayer app."
What is something I would never know about if I didn't read Friendly Atheist?

Too bad they didn't pray on-air to rid the Catholic Church of all its child molesting clergy.
(We sure as shit know they won't pray, on-air OR off, to stop the church's oppression of women and LGBTQs)
