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.”

      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.

      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.

    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”.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          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.

            Good example.
