Oh wait, here's my favorite quote from the prayer team leader:Įvans thinks his petition will make a difference. Israel recognizes same sex civil unions, and recently extended equal marriage benefits in terms of property, inheritance and taxation to gay couples. Ironically, Israel is more progressive in terms of gay rights than the US is. Take your pick, but either way it's quite irrational. Either they're going to change their mind anyway, in which case God has nothing to do with it and the prayer is pointless or God changes their mind for them, which would pretty much make all that talk of God giving us "free will" a bunch of crap. This always baffles me about praying for someone's mind to change. So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1599 bc.Evans also says he's organizing his prayer team to pray for God to give the authorities in Jerusalem the "strength and courage" to cancel the event.

It is a disgrace to the eternal holiness of Jerusalem and to its people." They plan to fill the hotels and restaurants and party like Sodomites, while the world press takes pictures. This event will bring to the streets homosexuals in immodest dress, in G-strings, with all kinds of pornographic images. "Jerusalem is where heaven and earth met and will meet again. "This is a moral outrage," Prayer Team founder Mike Evans told WorldNetDaily.

But it sure does have the prayer warriors upset:īut the Jerusalem Prayer Team, a Christian group that asks members to pray for and encourage the people of Israel, has called the planned World Pride event a moral abomination and is seeking 1 million signatures on a petition to ask the Jerusalem mayor and the city's municipality to cancel the event. Images of the Rome festivities, featured on various homosexual websites, shows throngs of shirtless men in shorts and bikini briefs congregated on the streets, some of them holding hands.Įgads, shirtless men in shorts holding hands! You can see that at pretty much any college basketball practice as they huddle on the sidelines. The global homosexual gathering, organized by InterPride, the International Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered Pride Coordinators, was last held in 2000 in Rome, where it attracted about a quarter of a million participants. Now I'm not a big fan of such parades, but this one sounds pretty tame even according to the people opposed to them: Wouldn't you know it, the gays have riled up the Jerusalem Prayer Team by hosting a gay pride parade in that holy city.
