Bill McGurn: Liberals Have ‘Very Childish Understanding a Prayer’

‘It shows the disconnect with ordinary people like those people in the First Baptist church’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "Here’s a tweet from an actor by the name of Will Wheaton. He wrote: 'The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s***.' And the you mentioned Elizabeth Warren, she wrote 'Thoughts and prayers were not enough, Republican Party. We must end this violence, we must stop these tragedies, people are dying while you wait.' It seems to me that perhaps some of those tweet writers don’t quite understanding the power of prayer and how prayers work."
MCGURN: "Yeah or what prayer is. Prayer is not a magic you know, genie that helps you get out of situations. And it's very childish understanding a prayer. Keith Olbermann had something along these lines, the idea that prayer is disproved by the shooting in the church. It just -- it shows the disconnect with ordinary people like those people in the First Baptist Church."
