Conservative organizers of the “Million Women” worship rally billed the event — and the November election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from satanic forces.
Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering — and next month’s presidential election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.
“If we don’t stand now,” said Grace Lin, who traveled from Los Angeles for the rally and came wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, “then the enemy will take over our country. If that happens, that’s the end.”

Just gonna point out the obvious here but…
It’s so bizarre to me that someone could possibly look at Trump and think “yep, this is a godly man who is going to save us from the forces of evil”.
As always, the Bible lets them think two things at once.
King David had a good man killed so David could grab his wife.
Noah was a drunk.
Lot was a drunk who slept with his daughters.
God uses bad men to give his divine message.
Wait I though that Lot was raped by his daughters, admittedly after getting piss drunk.
So you’re saying he’s a drunk who had nonconsensual sex with his daughters?

In that they raped him, yes.
Yeah, I was aiming for technically correct.
Could it be because God is a bad man?
Nope.
Because god is a woman. Prove me wrong.
(Heh, still not good, though.)
God was invented in our own image. The predominant culture that invented the Abrahamic god was patriarchal. As a reflection of that culture, god is a man. QED, bitches.
prove it.
I say god was a crossdressing woman with a fake beard and a horribly fake Scottish accent. (okay. I’d watch that movie…)
God is made in my image, and I’m not a crossdressing woman with a fake beard and horribly fake Scottish accent. Check and mate.
Like the Bible says, the anti Christ is Godly.
Also John 3:16 is a perfect call out.
“Similarly, in the end times, the evil False Prophet will cause everyone, regardless of social or economic status, to choose whether to receive a mark on the right hand and on the forehead. This mark will identify the recipients as belonging to the kingdom of the beast.”
Kinda like a MAGA hat huh?
If Jesus interceded with trump it would probably involve a temple and a whip.
Or is face would melt off like the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I’m ok with both, but Donnie strikes me as the submissive type. He might get off on the whipping.
Face melting Nazi it is!
And they would side with Trump then call Jesus an illegal immigrant and fake news.
Kinky 😏
I’m glad religion is gradually dying in America. This will only hasten it further.
Self-serving bigoted religious teachings will still offer value to self-serving bigots, and they still exist.
Research has shown an increase in spiritual beliefs in millennials (my generation), so I don’t think that the wider idea of religion will die. But I hope very few will miss churches that teach hate.
Religion is the perfect excuse for everything you don’t have a valid reason for.
Ethics could exist without magical folklore. For social affiliation you could also participate in a sports club. And for moral high ground you should be better judged by your actions instead of membership in a belief system.Religion is the perfect excuse for everything you don’t have a valid reason for.
No, ideology is. Like how your ideology can cause you to make falsified claims so confidently.
The problem is humans. Humans made religion. Humans made ideology. Humans can hate. Humans can rationalise that hate with or without religion. This is historical fact. Grow up.
Grow up
And for moral high ground you should be better judged by your actions instead of membership in a belief system.
Good example.
Jesus himself could float down on a crucifix to tell these numbskulls they are dead wrong, and they would abandon Jesus instead of abandoning their own bigotry.
Jesus would be hated by all of them, forgiving people, helping people who are different than you, giving up all wealth to those in need… The biblical descriptions of him are very much socialistic, not greed. For how long did Christianity not allow interest on loans… making it so Jewish people were the ones who had to open the banks.
Jesus didn’t change his mind, money mattered more to people, so they just changed it and said it was fine.
Jesus was a black and/or brown Jew. They’d probably try to crucify him again.
“And they will wear the MAGA of the Beast upon their foreheads”
The wide angle crowd shot actually showing ‘tens of thousands’ is notably absent.
I wonder how many actually attend with those million something marches.
So why would you have to go to a particular place to pray to a god? Can that god “hear” you better in certain places? I wish people would examine their beliefs to see if they make any sense. What’s with them holding their hands up? Are they like antennas?
I think they have to do it there because Matthew 6:5 says to:
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
Hey, wait a minute…
Before I looked this place up (I didn’t really know this famous complex is called that), it made perfect sense these weirdos in MAGA merch went to pray in a shopping mall of all places. Eating a fruit of knowledge made me a little less agitated about it.
Hey it also has a bunch of museums, mall had a slightly different meaning at the time.
I will not allow a woman to teach or hold authority over a man. She is to remain silent. ~ Timothy 2:12ish
With a Matthew 6:5 combo:
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
Exactly. These “Christians” are hypocrites. I’ll probably be down voted I don’t care. I haven’t hid my faith, I’m a Christian, yet progressive and these people are hiding their own desires behind a religion. It happens with all religions for sure, we just see it with Christianity predominantly here in the US. This verse is saying their reward is that others see them praying and that’s it. God isn’t rewarding them. The next verse teaches us we should pray in private and God rewards those people.
Also we just talked about Timothy 2 and our pastor made a good point the word for quiet was used in a previous verse Tim 2:2 that meant peaceful, quiet/calm life’s. Timothy calls out men and women. It doesn’t mean muzzled. Women of the time were dressing in such a way to bring attention to them at church instead of the teachings.
Oh hey more Xians that haven’t read their own handbook.
Why the fuck would I want to worship a god that sends Donald Trump as his prophet?
the death cult needs their anti-christ so the rapture can happen
simple
But it still doesn’t make sense. If they want this to happen and believe he will usher in their revelations, then they also understand they will be damned and will never get into heaven.
Their pastor didn’t mention that part, and they clearly don’t read the Bible themselves.
Religions are delusions, and basing your political views on religion, means your political views are based on delusions.
But as a Christian to support Trump is crazy. There is no doubt that Jesus would oppose Trump strongly, for his inhumane denial to help the poor and the sick. For instance being against raising minimum wage, and against healthcare for all.What, Jesus wasn’t a rich, boasting, powerhungry pussy grabber??!
He did seem to hang out with an awful lot of rich people, though.
why does this death cult want the government so bad?
So they can spread Jesus’s message of love and peace… or else!

Korean Jesus would just kick the Door down
Well he hasn’t managed to get off that cross yet so I have my doubts…
Something tells me these Christians wouldn’t actually follow a middle eastern Jewish apocalyptic magician prophet if one appeared today, more likely they’re interested in following supply-side Jesus
They absolutely don’t follow the teachings of Bible Jesus. None of them believe in true charity and tolerance which was all I learned from being raised on the stuff.
And don’t forget the grand irony of Zionism. The people currently being genocided out of Palestine actually have a much closer genetic relationship to the actual Biblical Hebrews that the people genociding them. The people who formed modern Zionism were mostly the descendants of people who converted to Judaism during its more evangelical phases. The historical events like Rome conquering Judea didn’t actually expel the vast majority of the population, mainly just some of its leaders and intellectuals. Most of the historical Hebrews remained in Palestine, and they mostly converted to Islam over the centuries. Zionism can largely be approximated as the destruction and displacement of the actual descendants of historical Israel by people who later converted to Judaism. The Palestinians have a much, much closer genetic relationship to the people that Jesus would have been interacting with regularly than the average IDF soldier does today.
I don’t agree with political violence, I don’t agree with political violence, I don’t agree with political violence…
