Sorry, Joy Behar, prayer and belief are not mental illnesses

Legend has it that George Washington had a prophetic vision at Valley Forge, promising him victory and a new nation. His soldiers seemingly survived that winter by a miracle.

Someone call the ladies at ABC’s “The View,” because they must have something snarky to say about this just in time for Lent. Joy Behar’s views on faith and prayer hold that our first president might have suffered from mental illness. When discussing Vice President Mike Pence, she declared last week on the show that “it’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you.” That was just before she proclaimed such faith in action to be a “mental illness.”
