RE: Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer
And that's my point, Eva. Whether or not Lincoln prayed, that is irrelevant to the larger question of whether he could be considered a Christian. Given that prayer is a significant practice in a number of religions, that he may or may not have done so proves nothing. Before one can make a thesis with any certainty, an objective set of standards has to be determined. Prayer in and of itself is not an objective standard.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
