There is no horror that cannot be, and has not been, justified in the name of religion. Few things disgust me more than politicians on a moral crusade. Nothing good ever comes of it. It is NEVER the job of our secular government, at any level, to backstop anyone's religion.

Kill all males who don't submit to your god?

Tell you what, let's try this on for size: Kill all Christian males. How's that taste, eh?

"it isn't political, it's Biblical"

Again with the false dichotomies. It can be both, jackass. The idea that religion is somehow inherently non-political is ludicrous. Although I guess it's not as ludicrous as a lot of the clowns other beliefs, but whatever.

Once again, how many ways is this wrong? Hell, let's make it simpler: is there ANY WAY that it's right? I'm afraid I have to be an absolutist about this: There Should Be NO PRAYER In ANY FORM of Government-Sponsored Event. If Sean Feucht wants to pray, he can pray in his church or at the home of one of his congregants. As for Shea, he can join Feucht if he wants at such meetings, but that's IT.

As for Mayor Woodward, she should know better. Might not be the world's worst idea to vote her out of office, next time around.

In what context is it ok to kill all males?

My favorite part is how he said the “kill all males” line was “taken out of context”, when the context was in fact waging a no compromise religious war

Domestic terrorist Matt Shea and his Ukrainian wife have also been (allegedly) engaged in trafficking Ukrainian orphans in Poland and delivering them to Christian Nationalist "adoption agencies" in the U.S.

Shea also has connections to the Christian Nationalist boot camp, Team Rugged, that forces militarized "patriotic and biblical training" on troubled teens, training them in the use of knives and guns in preparation for a Holy War.

This "father god" shit is something new that I am hearing a lot. I only had ONE father and he was a good father-as good as he knew how to be. I don't need a new one. Also-did you all read about that turd in CA who shot to death a mother of 9? She owned a clothing store and had hung a LGBTQ flag and this bastard took offense at that. He ranted at her about how she "Needed God in her head " Not LGBTQ. Sick bastard.

I suspect that Woodward, at best, thought there would be no harm in attending the event. Perhaps she thought it would gain her favor among Christian Nationalists. At worst, I suspect that Woodward is herself a closeted Christian Nationalist.

Didn't know the bible says no communism.

I think it's well past time that we, the people, display our disapproval of this christian terrorist bullshit with our votes. Let candidates know, up with this we shall not put!

Name one.

Isn't a prayer event a ginormous violation of Matthew 6:5-6?

Are Christians incapable of doing what their messiah told his followers to do and pray in secret, out of the public eye?

The fires are right outside my mother in law’s home, she said on the other side of the lake. So far she is safe, but we all know that can change in an instant.

The last thing anyone needs right now is prayer. They need decisive actions, they need support of shelter, food, necessities, and money. Spokane’s mayor should be far too busy at this time to waste praying in a big ole rally. Plus, that large space should be taken up with evacuees or getting ready for more. If all you got for your citizens is having a big party to mumble at the sky, you are not qualified for the job of mayor, to say the least.

I also had a friend who ran against a fer right wing candidate who was either Shea or a Shea sycophant. Unfortunately she lost, even though she was running on the blue side of the state. Spokane is the population hub of the very deep blood red side of the state. MIL lives outside of Spokane city limits, she did not get to vote for mayor in Spokane.

"Kill all males"? Out of context? I have to ask again, in what context is that OK?
