PERRY BACKER: Congress Must Change DC's Name To "District Of Christ"

Congress "must and will" change the name of Washington DC to "District of Christ" in order to wrestle the city away from demonic influences.

Family Research Council Creates Another Fake Group Over Pledge Controversy

The Family Research Council is responding to a trifling story by creating yet another fake-ass astroturf group.

NBC has unquestionably committed an act of religious bigotry designed to offend people of faith. Removing the words ‘under God’ from the Pledge of Allegiance in a piece they aired on Father's Day during the U.S. Open – not once, but twice – was absolutely not accidental. It was brazenly deliberate. NBC's pathetic apology did nothing but compound the offense by refusing to admit what they had done. Either NBC identifies and fires the employee or employees responsible for this act or the network is guilty of deliberately giving aid and comfort to religious bigots. NBC should further work to remedy this by airing a series of public service announcements with the entire Pledge of Allegiance.

"Aid and comfort to religious bigots?" Of course, the words "under God" were not shoe-horned into the then 62 year-old Pledge until 1954, when Congress caved to enormous pressure from the Knights Of Columbus.

Maddow On Rick Perry's Prayer Rally

AFA Defends Texas Prayer Rally

The American Family Association, the main backer of the Christianist prayer rally so heavily promoted by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, say the event will not violate the separation of church and state.

"The Response is an open event. Anyone who wants to pray to Jesus for a nation in crisis is welcome to attend. Next, The Response is a prayer event, not a political event," Wildmon says. "No political candidates will be speaking. Finally our critics say The Response violates the separation of church and state. The event will be held at a public stadium which has no connection to a religious body."

Right Wing Watch asks: "So does that mean that Gov. Perry, the man who is responsible for the entire event and is serving as its public face, will be not be speaking at the event? Or does it mean that he will speak because he is not going to be a political candidate running for office?"

Christians Only At TX Prayer Rally

And here's why, according to an event organizer:

This is an explicitly Christian event because we are going to be praying to the one true God through His son, Jesus Christ. It would be idolatry of the worst sort for Christians to gather and invite false gods like Allah and Buddha and their false prophets to be with us at that time. Because we have religious liberty in this country, they are free to have events and pray to Buddha and Allah on their own. But this is time of prayer to the One True God through His son, Jesus Christ, who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

I'm still trying to figure out how a state-sanctioned, explicitly exclusive religious event is being allowed to take place. Where are the lawsuits?

EDIT: It was pointed out to me that the above-quoted person is one of the prayer rally's organizers and that he was not speaking as Texas Gov. Rick Perry's spokesman, even though Perry is the event's headliner. Therefore I've changed the opening line of this post.

TX Gov. Rick Perry's Call To Prayer

Texas Gov. Rick Perry invites you to the official state-sanctioned Christian (only) prayer rally where you will be asked to "pray and fast like Jesus did."
