"The National Prayer Breakfast is an affront to the entire biblical tradition of such rituals — such an affront that entire books of the Bible stand in opposition to a government that takes food from hungry children, brutalizes immigrants and strangers, lies to its people, violates the rights of workers, idolizes its leader, divides communities, steals from the poor, and speaks evil of others"

"— all while praying and praising God, claiming that America is a Christian nation and that they are doing the work of God, strengthening and growing faith.
This is, on a prophetic level, monstrous. These are monstrous acts and monstrous lies."
@wdlindsy Didn't Jesus tell us to pray by ourselves and not to make a public spectacle of it?
Matthew 6.6:
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Even Ronnie Regan knew that much!
