WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush, already facing the lowest approval ratings in history, is coming under fire from former supporters over what they call his "ineffectual and incompetent" use of prayer for national guidance and assistance."Every time the president is criticized, he insists that the nation is in his prayers," said the Family Research Council's Bob Jensen. "That may be, but it's becoming more and more clear that these prayers are either too infrequent, too brief, or not strongly worded enough to be effective."
Jensen added: "This nation deserves more than a president who just pays lip service to prayer. It deserves a president who demands that his prayers get real-world results."
Despite assurances from the president that he "prays every day" for the nation's interests both at home and abroad, the mounting crises of recent months—escalating gas prices, the botched Dubai port security deal, ethics scandals, and the rising death toll in Iraq—have left many unimpressed with the effectiveness of his devotion.

I thought the P.C. Nazis were bad enough. . .now we have prayer police.
Maybe Jensen should pray every day so we can bash him because his prayers are ineffectual. And I don't think God would be very happy for us to Demand that our prayers be answered. The comments are so stupid they are laughable.
Mark and Brett-
You've been "Onioned."
D'OH!
Always check the link.
Always.
i believe there will come a day when john won't get people with an onion or lark news article.
You are a man of much misplaced faith. If an article is outrageous enough, people will hit the comment button in anger before reading the link.
Guilty as charged...
I need a rag to wipe the egg off my face...
John...you need to go to confession and repent of your sins. :>)
Mark, I have nothing to confess. As an Asbury student, I walk on water and my gas smells like roses.
With all the Tex-Mex I eat, my wife would have appreciated me attending Asbury instead of Brite Divinity School.
