What rock did you crawl out from under. I was a Baptist at one time and we prayed alot of the prayers we pray in the the Catholic church. Baptist have always been dogmatic about there religion. We all want to go to heaven and we all pray to the same God, no matter what religion you are. Your remarks about Catholics not being Christians is the most stupid I have ever heard.
Carol, my comment was a sarcastic reference to the many evangelicals and other protestants who do not think the Roman Catholic Church is christianity. note the /s
I think it is all a mythology filled with superstitious rules that can lead to prejudices and bigotry.
But you know, evangelicals don't think Catholics are "REAL" Christians and Fox promoting this on one of their more popular shows may not go over well with that crowd.
As a white woman raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, the first time I experienced bigotry is when I moved south and told people I was Catholic. Some looked at me as if I'd grown horns right in front of them. :D
Trying to determine who was, or was not, a TRUE Christian kept Europe soaked in blood for centuries. The American founders knew their European history and did not give religion any role to play in their new government. Nothing divides people more effectively and unnecessarily than religion.
That was about as far removed from the founders as the Civil War is from us. The Thirty Years War had to be a powerful motivation to keep religion out of government. Article VI makes it clear, and it pre-dates the Bill of Rights.
“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.
No, there was a U-tube with the headline something like Judge Jeanine fired for telling lies or something similar. As I have little or no or interest in the good judge I didn't actually look at the U-tube just the headline. I have a feeling that that U-tuber puts in click bait headlines.
Back in 2018 when Trump was squatting in the Oval Office, 2 of his top senior administration officials resigned due to domestic abuse allegations. Pirro made the 'suggestion' that Barack Obama's policies were somehow to blame for those 2 domestic abuse scandals.
Obama also was the only non-Japanese pilot to lead the bombing of Pearl Harbor. All the DS's secrets are being revealed! You global lib commies can't hide forever with the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
He's gay and he cheats on his husband by keeping a boyfriend on the side that he controlled to the point of suicide. He's much quieter about his wretchedness and his plans for making all of us hate ourselves like he does but I'd argue his way is just as dangerous as Musk. Who only wants US to be miserable. I miss gawker.
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."
It also refers to just this sort of public piety and preening even as they wallow in lies, the filth of greed, and pushing propaganda, policies, and politicians that oppress the innocent, hurt the poor, and stamp on the migrant.
What does this app do that should cost that much money to use? I mean, shitty politicians put daily prayers on their social media all the time, so if you need a daily prayer you can follow one of them. Or really any number of daily prayer apps, televangelists, or other “influencers”. What does this app provide that these other platforms don’t? And is worth spending your hard earned money on?
I wonder if the cost for the app is tax deductible like tithing.
When I was in basic training he was filming a movie at the post, so I ran into him a few times at chow time. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about it before, the movie was Renaissance Man with Gregory Hines, Danny DeVito, Mark Wahlberg, Kadeem Hardison. Anyway, I wasn’t impressed with Wahlberg then, but still he was a celebrity. There was a time when I started to respect him a bit, but then I found out about his criminal history and I cannot abide that, and he’s never really shown remorse or, to steal from the religious, repentance. He’s Uber religious but not a very good person. Sounds about right for someone associated with an app like this.
I had to look it up but I remember liking it too. I thought Gregory Hines was a great actor and him playing opposite Danny Devito in roles that seemed kinda reversed for them was pretty good.
They filmed us normies sometimes, but I never saw myself in the final movie.
The best story from the experience for me was the first day of basic, we had just gotten our uniforms and were sitting on these benches waiting to do individual paperwork. When a big gaggle of people come into the room, revolving around one person, Penny Marshall. There were some big brass and some small brass in the crowd. Anyway all of us cruits were Star struck and whispering amongst ourselves about what was going on. Then a lieutenant walks up to address the group (I thought) and asked us where our drill sergeant was. I last saw her behind the benches, so I turned my body to confirm that she was no longer there (because why would he ask if she was standing there), as I turned I uttered an “um”. Well, that was the wrong answer apparently. That lieutenant lost his shit on me, told me to stand up and address him as “sir” and just tore me a new one. He went on for a bit, getting nastier and nastier. Eventually, he tired himself out and went back to the group with Ms. Marshall. We all figured out that he was putting on a show for her to see what a dressing down from a drill sergeant might look like, and I think he was trying to make me cry (I did not). After that, the group left the room and we all got back to getting processed into the Army.
Later during training, I had a short chat with Kadeem Hardison in line at the chow hall. And one time Marky Mark noticed some girls getting excited he was in the chow hall with us, so he walked up to them and sat down. Gregory Hines actually grabbed him and moved him to another table (Hines was playing a drill sergeant so it was part of his practice for the movie. And while the facility was coed, we weren’t allowed to mingle at the time. Also, ours was the last class to be segregated by gender.). When Mark was finished eating, he had to do push-ups outside the chow hall door, so I made snide remarks about his ego as I passed. I might have joked about stepping on his fingers, but then, I’m petty sometimes.
Well we obviously need a Baptist Prayer App as Catholics are not really Christians.
/s
I couldn't find one that was specifically Baptist, but damn there are a lot of prayer apps out there.
I was too lazy to do the research.
Being a Heathen, I had no idea there was such a thing as "prayer" apps.
like religion? Which one's the 'real one'?
Why, the most popular one, of course.
Said in Blanche Devereaux’s silkiest voice.

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
Inspiring or sickening?!? 🤢🤮
It's pretty clear they never heard of Matthew 6:5-6, but then that's got to be among the most ignored verses of the bible to their lot.
I added the /S snark tag for a reason. lol
" that's got to be among the most ignored verses of the bible to their lot."
Along with all the rest of them.
Except for the ones they use as bludgeons.
But those are taken out of context.
I just post this passage on here.
Like watching the paint dry or the grass grow ?
More like watching a TV preacher beg for money.
But you know, evangelicals don't think Catholics are "REAL" Christians and Fox promoting this on one of their more popular shows may not go over well with that crowd.

Those who forget history (or were never taught) are doomed to repeat it.
#LetThemFight
We didn't have TV or movie theater then. We needed a way to distract ourselves between two pandemics !
The 30 years was is an example of that (1618-48). Made a lot of folks consider travelling across the Atlantic.
That was about as far removed from the founders as the Civil War is from us. The Thirty Years War had to be a powerful motivation to keep religion out of government. Article VI makes it clear, and it pre-dates the Bill of Rights.
There's no hate quite like Christian love.
From the parts I've read, it sure sounds like the Project 2025 people plan to "weed out" the "fake" Christians.
Imagine if that civil war the MAGAs want was actually between right wing Catholics and right wing evangelicals?
I'll bring the popcorn.
Can we expect online betting?
I got the same look when I told one of my inlaws I do not believe in any deity.
Does that come with Blue colloidal silver covid cure or a bucket of soup?
Is there a difference ? It's bakked the same way.
reminds me of Jimmy Buffet's Fruitkakes. "We're not fully baked"
I thought that was a bucket of slop.
Someday soon, people will start painting grass.
They already do.

Almost every atheist I've come across knows that passage by heart. Christians, on the other hand...
If you buy a bible and don't read it, you are catholic.
If you buy a bible and pick out only the passages that support your beliefs, you are evangelical.
If you buy a bible and read it cover to cover, you are atheist.
That's really true.
It's not hypocrisy. This verse is about synagogues, not churches 😇
That was what I was going to write.
Qui va à la chasse perd sa place 😝
No not that. Don't understand as much as one single word.
It means I was faster than you. I don't know any English equivalent.
You snooze, you lose.
It rhymes.
Du var kjappere enn meg. Norwegian for "You beat me to it".
Quick OT
Peter Navarro has reported to prison. May we be able to say the same of Trump someday.
Hallow prayer app or Hollow prayer app?
Hello payer app.
Isn't hollow prayer redundant?
Repetitively redundant ... and saying the same thing over and over and over again!
Quick, somebody call the Department of Redundancy Department, and make it quick!
For Sector R, of course!
They are all hollow, but not necessarily hallow.
Hard to choose. Which one will make you more sleepy ?

how low can Jeanine Pirro go?
https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-newss-jeanine-pirro-blames-immigrants-and-local-crime-donald-trumps-inability-pay-bond
“Lower than a lizard’s belly in a wagon rut.”
Except for Jessica Tarlov, that show is jus Trump Bootlicking Central.
1. I thought Fox fired Jeanine?
2. If no one has a clue about prices it's probably partly because Trump played fast and loose with the values of all his buildings.
Disclaimer : this comment is 100 % typo free.
I know all faux news more than less look like each others but I think you nixed her with fucker scareson.
No, there was a U-tube with the headline something like Judge Jeanine fired for telling lies or something similar. As I have little or no or interest in the good judge I didn't actually look at the U-tube just the headline. I have a feeling that that U-tuber puts in click bait headlines.
And it's why concussionwall* players shouldn't be allowed to be hosts on a channel.
* Not a typo.
Not that her argument holds any weight, but most of Trump's property is not in New York.
Back in 2018 when Trump was squatting in the Oval Office, 2 of his top senior administration officials resigned due to domestic abuse allegations. Pirro made the 'suggestion' that Barack Obama's policies were somehow to blame for those 2 domestic abuse scandals.
*rolls eyes*
I blame Ronald Reagan for Ishtar and Leonard Part 6.
Barack Obama shot Abraham Lincoln! The Deep State don't want you to know this!
No wonder there are so many vampires. Thanks, Obama.
Obama also was the only non-Japanese pilot to lead the bombing of Pearl Harbor. All the DS's secrets are being revealed! You global lib commies can't hide forever with the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if Trump did not have a problem with stiffing creditors he could would get a lone quickly.

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?
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.
Thiel is gay which Catholicism abhors. However, God forgave him because Million$.
He's gay and he cheats on his husband by keeping a boyfriend on the side that he controlled to the point of suicide. He's much quieter about his wretchedness and his plans for making all of us hate ourselves like he does but I'd argue his way is just as dangerous as Musk. Who only wants US to be miserable.

Fox News has always been a bad joke, but with this new wrinkle, the joke just got a lot worse.
They are very much doing so already.
I wonder if they chose the name visely. The fox is in several Nordic folk tales made to look like a jester and scoundrel. Just like the company.
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."

Yup. No good purpose/worthless.
Sadly, I doubt they care at all. They're WAY too busy virtue-signaling.
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)
C'mon, you know that all of the child molestation is by Demoncrat politicians masquerading as priests and youth pastors. False flag, every bit of it.

It keeps Mark Wahlberg from having to make a sequel to "The Happening".

I had to look him up. Never seen any of his films except snippets on youtube. :)
I remember that movie. I enjoyed it.

Ultimately, Hallow seems a desperate attempt to put butts in pews and to keep the $$$ (and kiddies) flowing into their rapidly failing churches.
CARDINAL GLICK: "Fill them pews, people. that's the key. Grab the little ones as well. Hook 'em while they're young."
RUFUS: "Kind of like the tobacco industry?"
GLICK: "Christ, if only we had their numbers."
