A federal judge has found the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional. Should the Justice Department appeal?
A federal judge has found the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional. Should the Justice Department appeal that ruling?
CRAIG THORNHILL, Dayton: “Yes. Our laws are founded in a moral and ethical code that dates back to a fear of God. To remove that is a mistake. Standing up for anything that inserts God into our daily lives and the national agenda is a good thing.”
DONZELL POPE, Jefferson Twp.: “I don’t think they should. It’s going to cost a lot of money to appeal it, and it doesn’t serve a purpose. People are going to pray if they want to pray.”
CYNTHIA DAVIDSON, Huber Heights: “They should appeal it. We have a right to set aside a day for prayer because they’re not specifying a religion or who you pray to.”
ROB GOHMANN, Dayton: “Yes. This country is based on Christian values. I think the ruling is bull crap. I don’t think the federal judges should have the power to do that.”
LARRY HENDERSON, Huber Heights: “Yes. It’s what the country is founded on. It’s why our money says ‘In God We Trust.’ “
