You might be deemed foolish by friends or acquaintances if you say you “pray.” But what do they know of how I “pray,” how you “pray?” There are too many stereotypes and distortions about praying and they may not be what I mean at all when I say I “pray.”
Predictably, radical anti-gun – and apparently anti-Christian – leftists (since there really are Christians on the left, like Kirsten Powers) reacted with hate and rage, attacking the notion of prayer.
