Holy Crap: “It’s A March” Edition
Franklin Graham has clearly taken sides in the Covid battle.
He’s holding a “prayer march” on September 26 in Washington, DeeCee., starring … ta da! Franklin Graham! He’s hoping a million people will show up and do a two hour walk while praying on the mall.
Ya know, with the people meeting in Sturgis and this deal here, maybe herd immunity ain’t such a bad idea.
Graham tweets —
I’m announcing today that on Sept. 26, I’m going to be in our nation’s capital to pray—& I hope thousands of families, pastors, & churches will join me! Our nation is in trouble, & we need God’s help.
Because Lord knows hat Donald Trump ain’t helping the situation any at all.
I wonder if Graham has an explanation of why America got to be such a godless craphole of a country under Donald Trump’s leadership?
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
Where are the faith healers when we need them?
1we do have faith heelers : look at rev coupland spitting at that devil viris!!!
2Let the teevangelical super spreader begin. Will the Dementiadent come over to watch his base perform a croakapalooza to fold his re-election up like a used wet nap.
3Let’s see: Sturgis, the Franklin Graham march, and schools reopening…yep, we should probably get ready to hunker down for another round. Covid-45 has done *something* for this country, but “make it great again” doesn’t seem to fit.
4omg. The stupid, it burns.
One group trying to pray covid away while another rides full-throttle toward it, some declaring, “I don’t know anyone who’s got it so it doesn’t exist,” and others, “Hell, if we get sick, we get sick! Hurray for freedumb!”
I wish them all well, from inside my house, and may they not bring this scourge upon themselves — or pass it to loved ones who AREN’T acting the fool.
5Especially the latter.
And may they keep themselves to themselves and away from our overstressed healthcare providers and hospitals!
6God couldn’t hear their prayers if they pray from their homes? Or God gives special attention to prayers coming from Washington DC? I don’t get it.
7If this should not work, if in fact it spreads more virus will they all become atheists?
8Does DC require a parade permit? Oh well, it will just be more GOP sick in time for the election. Will poll workers require temperature checks when entering?
9Just a prayer march? Not thoughts and prayers?
10I suppose if anyone thought about attending a prayer gathering while a pandemic was raging, they’d figure God can hear them from home as well as from Washington DC. Without exposing the family to COVID-19.
Proof of faith, Rick @ 10. The Baptist God requires proof of faith.
11I wonder if Falwell Jr will be “hanging out” there?
12Way to go, Sam. You made me snort/laugh this morning.
13Based on the above story of Georgia schools, they should be fine if they don’t stand still for more than fourteen minutes.
Martyrs for Trump? It could be a lawn sign.
14Yeah, I remember all the massive marches planned back in Palin Days to protest Obama presidenting while black, when the end result was always a few people in lawn chairs and maybe a scooter or two.

16Can’t help what ads might pop up first.
Pray from home? That defeats the whole purpose of showing everybody how righteous they pray. The D.C. animal control department is probably gonna have to get help from the National Guard to handle the amount of snakes being handled. The speaking in tongues might be intrestin.
17Mayor Bowser announced a while back that anybody coming into DC from Covid hot spots had to quarantine for 14 days before they could be out and about in our fair city. (No, it hasn’t been announced who or how this would be enforced.)
Al Sharpton has been planning a march a the Lincoln Memorial later this month on the anniversary of the original March on Washington in 1963. The Mayor needs to tell both Sharpton and Graham that their events must contain only residents of DC and its surrounding suburbs. Everybody else should stay out of Dodge.
We have flattened the curve on the plague–0 to 1 or so deaths a days in the past week or so–but the infection rate seems to be ticking up. probably due to all the protests by Lafayette Square.
18You can pray into one hand and crap into the other. Guess which one overflows first.
19P.P. @ 17, “Pray from home? That defeats the whole purpose of showing everybody how righteous they pray.”
I used to throw chapter 6 of Matthew to the “let us pray loudly and publicly” crowd. But 99% of them have never read that (or any other) book of the bible. And the 1% that are preachers like Graham seize upon the phrase “do not be like the hypocrites” and claim it only applies to hypocrites and so they are exempt.
20200,000 or thereabouts in Sturgis. Jeebus better outdraw the bikers or he’s gonna look real bad.
When this dawns on Falwell I predict he will decide that public health measures make his march inexpedient at this time.
21Many on the right say that if there are BLM marches, they can march too. I have a couple of issues with this. 1) BLM has gotten pretty good about wearing masks. Could be better, but I expect Franklin Graham’s folks to look more like that Georgia HS. I hope I’m wrong. 2)They don’t realize how many people like me did not march with BLM (except for once) because of the virus. Without Covid, this old guy would have been on Louisville streets more often. I think most BLM marches would have been much larger.
22Do they have to sign a waiver in case they become infected ?

24I agree with and have great appreciation for your comment.
But truthfully, Mike’s comment coulda been mine.
Pray in one hand and sh”t in the other and see which one fills up faster.
Being agnostic, it could go either way.
Depending on flexibility and accuracy.
