That prayer was specifically for the apostles. That's a far cry from having kids discipled by unbelievers whilst violating "thou shalt not steal." Babies are missionaries.

A gem from Jims article, "They (tea party) cite freedom of religion to prevent their employees from obtaining health benefits for reproductive care (i.e. fascist abortion). They secure our borders against phantom Al Qaeda terrorists by hunting down Hispanic gardeners. In the name of protecting the ballot box from non-existent fraud, they seek to exclude millions of citizens from exercising the franchise." This article is mindless rhetoric and grandstanding. It doesn't provide any historical tie to slavery or the Confederacy. This is just some guy's baseless accusations. Establishment Republicans have the big corporate donors. Everyone knows that Jim. Come on
We should tell Disney that its copyrights are evolving too. The IRS should know the tax code is evolving on its own too. Major multi billion dollar contracts are evolving too. Who needs amendments?
