I thought she was very beautiful when she spoke the Lord's prayer, never took much thought of her before. I was very proud of her, and how this US presidency acknowledges America's Christian values and origins.
Let us pray. Three simple, beautiful words. This was more than just a call to honor our Creator. [Staff edit].
And the Left is not happy: Read more.

As you might know, the founders wrote that the United States was not in any way founded on Christianity.
If I may say so and since you already mentioned it, I think it is perplexing that anyone who knows the actual real history of this country can believe that it has Christian origins and was founded on Christian values.
Most of the founders were Christian and thought that a religious people were necessary for a civilized nation. But they wanted no part of governmental involvement in religion, citing the horrors that had gone on in Europe as a result of that.
And they acknowledged that freedom of religion extended to Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others equally.
Yeah nah. It isn't as if she constantly does prayers in front of the t.v., I don't see any hypocrisy on her part, nor would I even judge her as a hypocrite. Seems silly to do so, and rather petty to do so.As you might know, the founders wrote that the United States was not in any way founded on Christianity.
And as you just learned, Christian values regarding prayer ...
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
And I'm going to go ahead and say that America is most certainly a Christian nation and was founded on Christian values
as seen in their Constitution.
So now the paid agitators are being bused around the deep South, eh? The bible belt/Catholic presence in that part of the South, no way man they'd heckle prayer. The South is all Republican.More shots fired in the culture war!: WATCH: Left-Wing Attendees Heckle Opening Prayer, Disrupt Pledge of Allegiance at Louisiana Town Hall
I'll write about this later. We're still caught up in the "bind Trump" circus.
Which reminds me: ChristianNationalism.com is looking for writers. PM if you're interested.

This is the treaty with Muslim nations which secularists deliberately put out of context, and here you refute yourself. "The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion..." but if you continue, "as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims);"Let's see what the Founders of America had to say about that:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Article 11; Treaty with Tripoli
(I put the relevant part in red for you)
This treaty was negotiated under George Washington, signed under President John Adams, and ratified by a Senate composed of the soldiers and statesmen of the Revolution. As you see, they disagree with you. They didn't just understand the intent of the founders; they were the founders.
This is the treaty with Muslim nations which secularists deliberately put out of context, and here you refute yourself.
Basically it's saying America is not Europe, it's not Spain, or Portugal, or Italy.
The treaty emphasises that America doesn't hate them because they're Muslims, it was saying America is not that kind of Christian nation.
The critical mistake here is assuming that this is about America as a nation. Even if the treaty of Tripoli was nothing more than what critics cite -- i.e. “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion” -- this article only refers to the federal government, doesn't mean that the American social or political network was not founded with Christian principles in mind for her peoples.Well, let's take a look...
"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims);"
So it says that government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion. And therefore, it has no character of enmity against Islam. Indeed that's what Jefferson said earlier:
Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.
Thomas Jefferson on the Virgina Statutes from which the Bill of Rights was taken
Nope. Nothing at all about that. It emphasizes that since the United States is "not in any sense founded on the Christian religion", it has no hostility against Muslims.
No. It says that the United States is in no sense found on Christianity. Not in any sense.
At the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin moved for a daily prayer, but the motion did not pass. So the men who founded our nation didn't think it worth doing.
We do them great injustice if we try to transmogrify them into religious zealots. They clearly wanted no part of the sort of establishment of religion they saw in Europe.
No point in trying to dance around it. Just learn from it and go on.
The critical mistake here is assuming that this is about America as a nation.
And for the record: America's supreme court in 1891 ruled the decision that America is a Christian nation.
My point is that she's doing this as a sop to the religious right.
In the same way bikini babes get draped across the bonnet of ferraris so teenage boys and midlife crisis guys want them.
