Considering that the US is considered a 'Christian Nation', exactly what harm is there in having a 'National Day of Prayer'? Don't like it, don't participate.

People are critically ill, people are dying, our lives have been turned upside down in a matter of a month or so. Those that say **** that, are the epitome of hypocrisy - cry and wail about illegals being denied entry into this country, but spit on those who are here as citizens and are being affected by this virus.

That is, PRAY and WORK for solutions.
the 2 aren't mutually exclusive.
But for some reason the mention of God only brings curses and profanity from them.

Just on a practical level i don't get that reaction, not during what they call a horrific "crisis!".
Seems to me you want to get help from anywhere, I bet if a some painted Shaman wanted an anti virus dance on the white house lawn or a bunch of Musical Celebrities wanted a concert at the white house for the Corona Virus cure they'd reverently take a day for that.
But mention God?!!
"#&$^#@#*!! *$^#&84!!! "

Trump may be a scumbag to many people and have many issues but I don't think he's overtly mocked God. In that much, he's got more sense than some on the left.

May God have mercy on us all.

(This is NOT an attack on Native Americans...Just showing Liberal hypocrisy)...

Remember the Lord helps those who help themselves.
and He doesn't look favorably on those who mistreat by neglect or otherwise the child, the widow or the needy.

There are other things to be done to lessen that problem without infringing on the rights of those that are law abiding.

Remember the Lord said:
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe."

And you're right He doesn't look favorable on those who mistreat by neglect or otherwise the child, the widow or the needy.
Does he look favorable on those that curse people's prayers to Him?
