Christians flock to Washington to pray for America to turn to God — by electing Trump

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.

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?
