Bobby Jindal rally: "prayer warriors" declare "no-go zone for demons"

Story here

From the article:

Protesters being organized by Louisiana State University students and progressive allies have been portrayed as spiritual enemies. During open prayer time, one call participant asked forgiveness for the protesters, saying “they hate us because they hated You first.” One participant prayed that God would “silence the mouths of those who would speak against You.”




Oh, dear.

For some time now, I have felt that these right-wing Christian "prayer warriors" are a greater danger to me and my loved ones than anybody that Syria is sending our way. These people are just as radicalized and intolerant, they're very well armed, and the skin color of the overwhelming majority of them gives them an invisibility that ISIS members can only envy......

races, but the SOS. Right-wing Christian "prayer warriors." They use religion as a veil for their hatred and evilness. Given the chance, they would do the same.
