White House to host prayer festival focused on Christian roots of U.S.

[Tripper11]

it is just endless....so fucking tired of it all

The Trump administration is hosting an all-day prayer festival on the National Mall on Sunday that organizers say will reflect the country’s Christian origins and, they hope, spark “a movement of renewal” in America.

“Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving” is partly funded by millions in public dollars earmarked for the nation’s 250th birthday celebration, organizers said. It will feature mostly evangelical Protestant leaders and members of the Trump administration, many of whom have embraced the message that America’s founders wanted the country to be explicitly Christian.

In a webinar last month, the Rev. Paula White-Cain, a senior faith adviser to the White House, said the event “is about the history and the foundations of our nation, which was built on Christian values, on the Bible … This is really truly rededicating the country to God.”

While U.S. presidents through history have typically marked major commemorations with genericprayers of thanks to God, scholars of American religious history say the national jubilee is unprecedented in the modern era.

1. "Rededicating the country to god"

Ok, Paula. Now tell us where the grift comes in? Because there is ALWAYS a grift. Will Jesus, or better yet, his actual words and deeds, be featured at Churchapalooza this Sunday? Somehow I doubt it.

3. The grift ?

The usual …

16. What

The actual fuck is wrong with that person??????

And, have NONE of these assholes ever read the US Constitution or do they hang this whole pant load of bullshit on the line in the Declaration that says “their maker” and think that shows christian bias?????

5. If it's a real jubilee...

I expect all debts to be forgiven and all property to be returned.

6. Aztecs were Christians too, and they ate people. Maybe Trump could open a goddamned history book instead of

banning them. Can't speak for anyone else, but I refuse to let Republicans push their religious shit on me.

7. IRONY ALERT! The Christian History Began With 16th C. Spanish Catholic Missions.....

Then came 17th C. New England bigoted misogynistic Puritans and the Southern business-minded Cavaliers.

And then.... The European Enlightenment and our 18th C. NON-CHRISTIAN DEIST Founding Fathers of the Watchmaker God, of Revolution, of Rights, and of the Constitution.

So....WHICH "ROOTS"?

8. Didn't those Puritans conduct witch trials and executions?

9. Catholics excluded again

And obviously Orthodox too

10. Hypocrisy Heights

Trump should try practicing what Christ teaches: love God, love one another.

Simple, yet effective, way to bring about world peace and universal understanding.

11. His whole Schtick is based on christian evangelical snake shakin travelling tent preachers so why not. Waste n/t

12. These ignorant bastards have no clue

that there were Jews and (gasp!) Muslims in this country before it was even a country. Of course the Muslims were slaves, but they were HERE. So spare4 me your fake Christianity, you IGNORAMII!

13. Fawk, fawk, and just fawk.

All the more my “Catholic” family will love him more……

My niece got married a couple of months ago, I wasn’t invited, only immediate family were. I saw on her Facebook page tho, her statement of awe looking out over the “gulf of America”. Needless to say, soooooooooo happy I wasn’t invited. 🤬 🤬 🤬

15. Which god? Christians usually have no idea.

17. I thought they were against indoctrination, and for freedom.

Lying bullshitters is all they are. Why can't they worship their invisible friend at home, and not at work?

19. You realize what someone needs to do, right?

There's a tracer dye called Rhodamine WT that is used by the government for various hydrologic studies. They put this in a body of water and the water turns red.

Both the Ten Plagues of Egypt found in the Book of Exodus, and the Seven Last Plagues in the Book of Revelation, include a plague where a body of water turns to blood.

So, here's what I'm thinking: On the morning of this National Jubilee, some kind and generous soul should slip about five miles up the Potomac from Washington and add about 20 pounds of Rhodamine WT to the Potomac. It is absolutely harmless, but I figure the people running this thing will shit themselves when they see the Potomac has been "turned to blood."

21. This is so fucking gross. Our government is not a damned megachurch!
