Russel Ballard Quote

Though a few of the founding fathers were pastors and ordained ministers, most were merely honorary titles. It took a bit more than prayer. It took guns, canons, and almost three dozen lawyers.

Right, it took more than prayer, but it did include prayer. I think we could be reminded of that.

Our forefathers never established a Theocracy because they understood that laws that govern people should be amendable so they can remain relevant. It was necessary to keep a country whole and not torn apart by constant revolution.

If you want further proof of how unsuccessful a government governed by religion and not by the people really is; look no further than the Middle-East.

Ummm... I'm just sharing a quote that's saying it would be helpful if we prayed more bro. I'm definitely not saying we need to change the Constitution to be like Iran.

Excellent. You’d be surprised how many people seem to want that only in a Christian motif. Glad to see you’re not one of them.

Personally I don’t think lack of prayer is the issue. I think the problem is the lack of listening. Prayer is good for lifting up personal burdens but not so good at lifting the actual burdens place on us by others. But, if you think it helps, by all means.
