@Flowerseverywhere - the initial tone taken by the OP was disdainful, oozed contempt for and frankly, made fun of Chrisitans uniting to pray. Granted, it was toned down but that's what all this fuss is about (on my part). The very title of the thread "Prayerpalooza" is making fun of prayer. Hate Speech? Maybe not ...but what if the tables were turned and someone posted something ugly about say Islam, example, calling Arabs "Ragheads" or saying "they face the East and beat their heads on the ground" that's offensive, no? I think so. Having a whole thread dedicated to bashing Rick Perry is one thing. Having a thread titled "Prayerpalooza" is not funny.
