As shown on an earlier Friendly Atheist post, there are already lots of churches and a couple of synagogues within a few blocks Ground Zero, so I'm not sure what need this new Christian Center fulfills.
The LivePrayer.com site is -- as we say in Minnesota -- interesting. Owned by a guy named Bill Keller, whose bio comes right out and tells you he's a convicted insider trader (from his days as a stock broker), the organization is said to be a nonprofit, educational organization with 501(c)3 status from the IRS.
Despite this status -- which means they should not be involved in electoral politics -- the site's home page features this graphic:
The "God's Enemy" link goes to a video made before the 2008 election, so it's been up there for a while. In it, Keller says he doesn't tell people who to vote for or not to vote for, but any reasonable person watching it could only understand the video as a clear message not to vote for Obama.
The site's About Us page concludes with this unintentionally ironic sentence:
On second thought, maybe it's not ironic at all.
