May God judge this nation as it deserves.

Amen.

i don’t think he got arrested for praying in the park. i think he got arrested for trying to disrupt a lawful assembly in the park. if he wanted to just pray, he could have done it in another area of the park. Im not saying i agree with the gay event, i’m just calling it like i see it.

[metmom]

Yeah, and if a Christian group were in the park and gays crashed it, the reaction of the police to a call expressing concern from the Christians would be???????

[metmom]

How is praying disrupting a lawful assembly?

That’s a pretty weak argument.

[little jeremiah]

It’s just going to get worse, that’s the scarey part. This is just the beginning of the worse stuff.

[little jeremiah]

Did you read the whole WND article? Raven and the others were on a little knoll separate from the homosexual debauchery. They weren’t even next to them. They still got arrested because the perverts might have gotten hostile to them.

The cops even said they weren’t disrupting the debaucery, just that somse of the perverts might have perceived the Christians praying and gotten hostile.

Read the darn article!

[metmom]

Think Sodom and Gomorrah.

It’s getting to the point where I really think that this country deserves what it gets.

Great Post! Thanks for the Ping!

The Christians “made their way to an area in front of the stage and began to pray silently while lying prostrate in the grass.

>> How can this government continue?

Rush had audio clips of a Brit on his program yesterday. The Brit mention how the continuance of Western Christianity is at the mercy of the U.S.

It is clear the Left wishes to destroy the influence of Christianity.

[paul51]

it’s not the praying that got him arrested. it is where and how he chose to do it

"There was plenty of room in the park. No one was being turned away. They walked in silence. Neither the defendant nor anyone from the group bumped into anyone as they entered and they did not force others out of the way," ADF said.

They walked to a grassy area near the front, kneeled or laid down, and prayed.

They even prayed silently. They never said a word.

Yes, they were praying, but the people who saw them only ASSUMED that they were praying since they didn't say anything. They were arrested on an assumption, not any real, solid, evidence.

The other thing is, the police could have simply escorted them out of the park. They didn't need to arrest them and they didn't need to keep the guy in jail for nine days.

[little jeremiah]

Silently.

How is that disrupting?

It’s a public place and was open to all. Did everyone there have to have an ID proving that they were a homosexual?

Public park - they were allowed there. They were silent - not disrupting.

And then why the heck is a city government allowing such depravity in a public park anyway???

[metmom]

They went and laid face down on the grass. They were lucky they didn’t get assaulted.

But they were arrested on the assumption that they were praying, as they didn’t say a word.

There was no justification for arresting them and holding him for nine days.

[Secret Agent Man]

If you don’t make the city politicians hurt with a large award, they’ll just keep doing it again and again.

[little jeremiah]

Here it is.

Debauchery and perversion, promoted by the city - FINE!!!

Silent prayer - BAD!!! ILLEGAL!
