[PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Thousands of conservative Christians gathered Saturday on Independence Mall in Philadelphia to pray for the future of the United States in the weeks before the presidential election.
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins topped a full day of speakers at "The America for Jesus 2012" prayer rally.
Robertson, a former Republican candidate for president, called the election important, but didn't mention either major political party or candidate by name.
[B]"I don't care what the ACLU says or any atheists say. This nation belongs to Jesus, and we're here today to reclaim his sovereignty," said Robertson, 82, who founded the Christian Coalition and Christian Broadcasting Network, and ran for president in 1988.[/B]
Organizers plan another prayer rally Oct. 20 in Washington, D.C., two weeks before President Barack Obama faces Republican Mitt Romney in the presidential election.
Perkins asked the crowd to pray for elected officials including Obama.
[B]"We pray that his eyes will be open to the truth," Perkins said.[/B]
A number of event organizers, though, have been vocal critics of the Democratic president.
Steve Strang, the influential Pentecostal publisher of Charisma magazine, which was distributed at the rally, recently wrote in a blog post that [B]America is under threat from a "radical homosexual agenda." He also said Obama "seems to be moving toward some form of European socialism."[/B]
[B]And speaker Cindy Jacobs has blamed a mysterious Arkansas bird-kill last year on Obama's repeal of the policy known as "don't ask, don't tell," which allows gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.[/B]
[B]Speakers throughout the day condemned abortion, gay marriage and population control as practiced by Planned Parenthood. Christian rock music filled the historic mall as speakers challenged the crowd to overcome the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and slothfulness.[/B]
The rally was held outside of Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Pennsylvania is also where evangelist George Whitefield preached during the first Great Awakening, the 18th-century religious revival that spread through the American colonies.[/quote]

Just.. literally retarded.

I fucking hate the words "agenda", "Radical" and "Socialism." They've all pretty much been turned into words that sound big and scary to frighten the dim into the sway of some fuckwad who just wants his way.
THOSE WORDS ALL SOUND SCARY I'LL DO WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE MY SAFETY IS IN YOUR HEART
That's fine. Maybe thinking so hard will give them aneurysms.
jesus is dead
Fuck em.
The only reason I give a shit about what they say is because they are more powerful than they should be.

I don't think any of these people ever spend a lot of time thinking.
Irony since the constitution deemed that the States should not be a Christian country.

They don't need to think, they have faith.

[QUOTE]He also said Obama "seems to be moving toward some form of European socialism."[/QUOTE]
The only thing I can think of as a reply is "How is that a bad thing".
*Let's ignore the fact that the European system is flawed, the point is that it's lightyears better than the current American system.
As not only an American citizen, but a Pennsylvanian at that, I wish to apologize to the world for this level of stupidity.
So... Christianity, Abortion, Homosexuals, Socialism and Military.
Man, these guys surely repeat themselves.

There is when that "better future" includes hating on homosexuals, believing health care being a right is socialism, hating any sort of birth control, hating Obama for no real reason, and believing bird deaths were related to civil rights.
Oh, and Christian Rock.
Eughghghgh.
They've been pulling this crap for years, luckily we've found ways to ignore them.

My girlfriend dragged me to her church not too long ago, and the "church rock band" [sp]FUCKING CRINGE.[/sp] was playing that night.
The song was called "I'm alive" and the chorus was, I shit you not:
[I]"I'm alive because jesus came in my heart."[/I]
Was fucking snickering the entire time

A friend of my friend got called out for listening to heavy metal, because "You shouldn't listen to that, it's the devil's music."
Devil must have some good taste then I guess.

What is their agenda? To have EQUAL FUCKING RIGHTS?
Seriously. The world will not fucking end when two dudes or two women get married. I really want to ask these people what the fuck they are expecting to happen.
Because what two other people do is none of their goddamn business.
The united states is not a fucking christian country. Church and state were SUPPOSED to be seperated to avoid bullshit like this.
