This idea is stupid on so many levels.

Newsday.com - Lawmakers Seek National Day of Prayer WASHINGTON -- Harking back to the Revolutionary and Civil wars, the House is talking about a national day of humility, prayer and fasting to seek guidance from God during a time of war and terrorism.

A vote on urging President Bush to designate such a day was expected later in the week.

"It is a resolution that I think all of us can support with humility and grace and our love for our great nation," Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., said Wednesday.

But several lawmakers were less sure. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, an opponent of the war in Iraq, said, "This resolution may be seen by some as an attempt to inject religion into this war at a time when some of America's enemies abroad are asserting that this indeed is a war about religion."
