If they did charge money, I imagine speakers made a pretty penny. It would have definitely drummed up right-wing evangelical support for Bobby Jindal as he explores his 2016 options.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-83149305303484335682015-02-09T06:38:23.204-05:002015-02-09T06:38:23.204-05:00So, they got a large group of people to come toget...So, they got a large group of people to come together and pray for the sins of a country.....Wonder how much the tickets were or should I say I wonder how much the speakers and organizers made of off their flock.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243905647317437724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-56875433219744064232015-02-08T20:46:54.181-05:002015-02-08T20:46:54.181-05:00Agi Tater -- Enlightened people need to be aware o...Agi Tater -- Enlightened people need to be aware of Seven Mountains theology. It pops up all the time in New Apostolic Reformation circles, and its implications are disturbing. Some fundamentalists really do want to "conquer" areas of society and impose their values on others. Sadly, some political leaders have discovered that it's a useful tool, like you said.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-15569218214544724692015-02-08T09:53:06.375-05:002015-02-08T09:53:06.375-05:00I'd not heard of Seven Mountains theology befo...I'd not heard of Seven Mountains theology before. And all that militant language is alarming. Enemy occupation, war, enemies, and "You are here today to reclaim territory that rightfully belongs to God …"<br /><br />This is how politicians like Jindal rally the disempowered and uninformed masses to vote against their own interests. It's terrifying how well it works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362339037879270082noreply@blogger.com
