Yep...being a resident of the area under the gaze of Columbia's city, it's pretty big local news. Some folks are planning to try and combat this through various levels of spiritual warfare. For me, I believe it is more powerful to laugh them off and use targeted ignoring and shunning techniques. And you do have to admit, they're pretty funny...

I totally loled when I saw an article about this group of "Christianity" a month or so ago. I mean, these extremists are totally nuts and that any kind of attention you give back to them just feeds them more so. That, and they have completely twisted and destroyed their religious convictions to use them to hate and excuse any growth in the tolerance department.
Also, Sarah Palin was affiliated with this brand of nutjobs, that speaks volumes right there, and I'm pretty sure that Michelle Bachmann will be signing up any day now.

When they were persectued for their religion..and then eventually christianity became the only* religion that could be practiced, and proceeded to persecute everyone else. What a change around, huh?

Somehow I don't see how a microscopically small lunatic fringe of an otherwise respectable religion flapping their gums and engaging in "prayer warfare" with no tangible results is somehow persecution, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own perspective. Although if anyone feels persecuted by these handful of loonies, I'm not sure who would be the more crazy in the long run...YMMV.

I don't think that this is persecution-- I was actually just being "sarcastic" and trying to be "funny" when I commented on underestimating the Christians. Although perhaps some do find their antics harrassing and an annoyance to their faith.
However I don't take this seriously, I don't feel persecuted, and I would hope that I'm not crazier than this group.

Though I agree with Leisha and the rest that these folks are nuts, I cannot ignore the energetics of what they are creating with 51 days of repeated prayer and visualization. If you think that folks like this are unorganized you are wrong. They have pre-determinied prayers, visualizations, focused intent and very intense emotional response. Last I checked this was the makings of pretty effective magic. I will be working against this just as surely as I would work against any other black magic directed against me and mine. See their intent is to be able to legislate Biblical Law as they interpret it. This effects my life as a citizen of this country, and a religous minority (not to mention being gay with is a whole other pyre they would like to "fan the flames of"). Even their imagery is a reference to their god cleansing the world by fire. Not just hokey $RW type magic here, even if they dont know it.

I think that could be its own discussion topic completely, but I'm sliding into full vacation mode, so I'm too lazy to start it up. ;)
One thing that one of my teachers stressed (to paraphrase) is that if those who are above you move to block what you do, there's not going to be anything you can do to cause change to happen. This isn't the first time that these individuals have tried through these prayer means to get the changes happen that they desire. Look at the push to get Sarah Palin into national office with a massive "prayer movement" by a broader group that included these crazies--no success there. (And for an even more hilarious example, try looking at Pat Robertson's presidential run!)
Because they're not using their own energies, but instead are calling on an outside intermediary to make the magic happen, that intermediary has to be in accord with what they're asking or nothing will happen. The intermediary that they've chosen, depending on the faction of the group you look at, would either be Jesus or a Jewish tribal god. A Jewish tribal god really isn't going to listen to the war drums of people who aren't part of his covenant. And Jesus certainly embodies ideas that run counter to mass slaughter or political gain. So no matter how much they thump their chests or pray fervently for change, as long as they want it in line with "god's will" or with the help of Jesus, they're pretty well screwed out of the possibility of success.

Gotcha...it's so hard to read sarcasm online sometimes. Thanks for clearing that up! :)
