We're not. I was completely thrown when I first heard the news about the day of prayer, and should have known that people don't bother looking into these things, especially after the Orca, that WASN'T SHAMU, killed someone at seaworld, and NO ONE knew the facts. The only thing that happened was that President Obama isn't having a ceremony at the White House for the day of prayer. The ONLY president to have a ceremony at the white house for the day of prayer was George W. So Obama is only doing what every other president other than GW did.
I've seen various responses to the rumors from the expected outbursts of disagreance, to rebuttals at the outbursts. One rebuttal caught my attention, the person commented saying if you're only concerned about praying 1 day a year there's a problem. It's a good argument. Now were the national day of prayer really at stake then there might be more to say to the rebuttal, but it's not so there isn't.
What bothers me about this whole thing is that I saw very little to no love from Christians on this matter. What I did see were plenty of cutting remarks, anger, frustration, and ignorance of the issue at hand.
"If I speak the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing."
