America is under attack by Religious Right Christians.  They are attacking women, gay people, workers, voters, doctors, our educational system, our healthcare system, nonChristians, and the poor.

On May 5th, while the Day of Reason celebration was happening inside the Capitol, the Day of Prayer was happening outside. Here is a short (~3 minutes) video showing some of the events of the Day of Prayer. MNA member James Zimmerman added in some scriptures to highlight the (non-)biblical nature of the day.

There’s a Birdseye in Colorado, Frogeye in Maryland, Hogeye in Texas, and even a Pigeye in both Alabama and Ohio.  For a long time there was a Pig’s Eye in Minnesota until a Catholic missionary by the name of Lucien Galtier arrived on the muddy banks of the Mississippi River in 1840 to establish a Christian community. The following year, in 1841, Galtier successfully renamed Pig’s Eye to its current name of Saint Paul after he began the construction of the Church of Saint Paul.  Sixty-six years later construction began on the Cathedral of Saint Paul—recently commissioned as the “National Shrine of the Apostle Paul” by the Vatican— which would finally be completed in 1958.  If we take a moment to consider the Apostle Paul’s misogynistic teachings, the Catholic Church’s chronic issue with priestly pedophilia, and the adulation for American entrepreneurial small business ownership, we might want to consider restoring the name of the capitol city back to Pig’s Eye—or something more appropriate.

In case you haven’t heard, the Rapture is slated to occur on May 21st of this year. On that Saturday, Jesus will call his faithful and true followers up to heaven to spend eternity with Him. Left on the Earth will be the evil souls who have willfully rejected Jesus and hatefully lived against His righteous standards.
