This is a classic example of why there is supposed to be a separation between church and state, and clear evidence that its total bullshit and ignored.
Look, I won’t knock anyone for religion, even if it’s not my bag, but these guys honestly come across like they just want to pray the covid away and that just scares me.
What’s worse to me though, is when 2% of the infected nation die, it’ll be two things.
1) The fault of the “do nothing Democrats”
...and...
2) God’s will.
The second incompetence causes a death, and it becomes “God’s will”, is the second I draw the line between religion and assholes who need to keep their religion out of my fucking life.
Edit: So that my moderate attempt at humor isn't misconstrued, I'm editing this from a post below.
Legitimately, I know they were just having a moment of peace in their office, and honestly it was likely a solid moment of silence for the American lives lost on their shores under their watch and I respect that. My joke was surely in poor taste.
The sentiment behind the joke however, was based on established precedence.
Pence was not the right man for this assignment. He should not in any capacity have been the choice for this most critical assignment.
How about someone that understands how to facilitate this level of response, and moreover, understands the science behind it?
Let's start there.
The prayer in this photo is a point of mockery because historically, that's what Pence has done. A prayer in itself however, is most definitely not.

It's just an excuse for an old man nap. Don't let them fool you.
