Republican Congressmen Joining May Day Prayer Rally to Establish a "Virtual Theocracy"
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/republican-congressmen-joining-may-day-prayer-rally-establish-vitrual-theocracy

Last month, we posted a video of Janet Porter http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/janet-porter-prays-control-over-media speaking at the Convergence 2010 conference during which she prayed that God would had control of the media over to Christians so that they could take dominion over the nation:

She followed that up a few days later by explaining http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/porter-our-goal-take-dominion-every-area-and-occupy-until-jesus-comes that this was part of an effort to "to take dominion in every area" in order to "occupy until Jesus comes."

When Porter says that it is her goal to "take dominion" http://www.reclaim7mountains.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=41538&columnid=4347 over every aspect of American culture, she is entirely serious, as this is a key part of a movement to capture the "7 Mountains" and is going to be a central feature of her upcoming May Day prayer rally: http://www.mayday2010.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=65

7:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. - Every hour will generally feature times of prayer and proclamation, including words from the Constitutions of all 50 States, as well as a number of our Presidents and American patriots. Prayer times will include both corporate and personal silent prayer. Prayers of repentance will be offered about each of the "Seven Mountains of Culture," which are: (1) Business; (2) Government; (3) Media; (4) Arts and Entertainment; (5) Education; (6) Family; and (7) Religion. A number of leaders have been asked to offer prayers of repentance in each of these areas and subcategories, such as the military and our court system.


This 7 Mountains theology http://www.reclaim7mountains.com/ was started by Bill Bright, Loren Cunningham, and Francis Schaeffer back in 1975 and aims at quite literally having Christains defeat "the enemines of the Gospel" in order to gain complete control over every aspect of American life:

1. Kicking for the Nuts.
"Congressmen to attend so far: Randy Forbes (Virginia), Trent Franks (Arizona), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Steve King (Iowa), Cliff Stearns (Florida)."

This is the party they represent:

Republican Randy R Forbes (R-Virginia)
Republican Trent R Franks (R-Arizona)
Republican Louie R Gohmert (R-Texas)
Republican Steve R King (R-Iowa)
Republican Cliff R Stearns (R-Florida)

I like to make clear the association. :) Thanks for the info. :) This could be epic; Bartlett must be salivating in his grave.

3. Schnark-infested waters, indeed.
;)

To be a fly on the wall...

"Among those listed as participating in Porter's May Day prayer rally...James Dobson, Rick Scarborough, Mat Staver, Wendy Wright, Harry Jackson, and David Barton, as well as several Republican members of Congress."

No actual location listed, as yet. I'm hoping the Rapture knows where to go.

9. These are the same people trying to eradicate voodoo from Haiti.
And praying away demons in the corridors of the Obama White House.

I'd send a pox on their houses, if I had one. ;)

5. And just which of these bright children are going to decide which
flavor of Christianity is the right one and what will happen to the other ones. Does this mean that the religions that are non-Christian are going to be at the mercy of these bright children? Whose interpretation of The Word is going to be the chosen one and what happens to all the other ones. Is there going to be crusades to cleanse the ones deemed to be in error? Looking back at history for clues, does this mean that book burning and destruction of schools and institutes of learning that do not conform to this virtual theocracy will be destroyed as they have been in the past. Are we then going to be looking at another Dark age as all learning, art, culture except that which is approved by this virtual theocracy doomed. Will this mean an end to the sciences? Not something that I would be looking forward to.

7. RW, militant religo-freaks are one step away from burning witches
and killing scientists for blasphemy against God.
