The left seems to have a serious problem with people praying.
After several tragedies including the Las Vegas shooting and Texas church rampage, many well-meaning people prayed for the people affected… but apparently simply believing in a higher power was enough to send liberals into a tizzy.
Several prominent liberals used their media platforms to disparage and lecture Americans for daring to pray — and one Christian actress is fed up with it.
Earlier this week, actress Candace Cameron Bure revealed that she believes in the power of prayer, and pushed back against those who criticize Americans for having faith during difficult times.
“It bothers me and I feel sad for the people who write it, because the first thing I think is, ‘Well, they’ve never experienced the power of prayer. They just don’t know,’” Bure said, according to TheBlaze.
The “Fuller House” cast member pointed out that critics of faith often misinterpret prayers as an attitude of inaction, when that is often not the case.
“Prayer, for me, is always where you start. That’s the start of your solution. Then, yes, you take action,” she continued.
Bure also shared personal examples of how prayer helps her face rough situations.
“If I’ve got a tough day, God’s right there with me by my side,” Bure said. She also explained her view that prayer is not a one-time request, but is “an open dialogue with God at any time of the day or night.”
She’s not alone. In fact, a stunning 90 percent of Americans have prayed for healing, a recent in-depth poll discovered.
“The study found that about nine out of 10 Americans have relied on healing prayer at some point in their lives, with most of them praying for other people’s health and well-being more than their own,” CNN reported last year.
Praying is an element of faith that appears to transcend any one religion or denomination, as well — and even respected medical professionals acknowledge its potential power.
“Outside of belief in God, healing prayer might be the most ubiquitous religious practice that there is,” explained Jeff Levin, a professor of epidemiology at the well-known Baylor University.
“This might be one of the most prevalent forms of primary care medicine, and I don’t say that lightly,” the health care expert admitted.
“There’s this hidden substrate of spirituality in this country, and by asking these questions, it uncovered something always there that was bubbling beneath the surface. This is not a marginal or minor expression. This is pretty ubiquitous,” Levin continued.
Tell that to anti-faith leftists. Recent events have shown that while the vast majority of Americans believe in prayer, some of the loudest liberals can’t stand it.
“Enough with the prayin’,” prolific author Stephen King posted on Twitter in early November.
“If prayers did anything, they’d still be alive, you worthless sack of s***,” perpetually angry B-list child actor Wil Wheaton lashed out after the Texas tragedy.
“I’m sick & tired of ‘thoughts and prayers,'” whined author Max Boot.
Once again, the political left demonstrated just how radical and out of touch they are compared to the vast majority of Americans.
No matter your personal views about God and Christianity, there’s a mountain of evidence that both faith and prayer are healthy and powerful. Candace Cameron Bure gets it… but many of her fellow entertainers are still a long way from seeing the light.
