I was born and raised in Texas so I’ve seen it. Millions of people today are praying that Dorian turn away from land, and treating those people with mockery or condescension because they believe it could help is part of how the overly secularized Left has lost lots of voters.

I have been saying for a long time that I will vote for anyone running against Trump in 2020... I think I found my exception.

Next, you'll be using the walk away hashtag. I'll take wonks over prayers.

Did the people of the Bahamas not pray hard enough, were they not worthy of having God turn the storm away... I don't begin to be so arrogant as to say I know how God works - but I don't think it's through charlatans - and I don't think he punishes with hurricanes..

91% of the Bahamian population is religious, and most of that 91% attends regular services. What happened there? Oh right, you don't have an answer. Prayer and faith is a personal thing. Don't use it to dehumanize others, and don't try to replace science with it. Sit down.

We're not mocking prayer. We're saying "Do that on your own time, not on taxpayer time, which is science time." If prayer brings you personally peace, great. I don't need to hear about it from an elected official, and the fact that you keep insisting I *do* makes me distrust you
