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.”

They can all go get fucked
The wide angle crowd shot actually showing ‘tens of thousands’ is notably absent.
I wonder how many actually attend with those million something marches.
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.
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.
Yikes
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?
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 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…
If they get what they want and the country does turn to god, he’ll explode in a blast of holy light.
I don’t agree with political violence, I don’t agree with political violence, I don’t agree with political violence…

Oh hey more Xians that haven’t read their own handbook.
But… ‘the enemy’ is already in power? And has been as ineffectual as usual?
“And they will wear the MAGA of the Beast upon their foreheads”
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 was a black and/or brown Jew. They’d probably try to crucify him again.
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.
So basically xians are holding another “Wishfest”, since prayer is literally about doing nothing except wishing.
Trump is a false prophet, god is a superstition
