Hey, truth in advertising. When the American Fascist Association (oops Family), a recognized SPLC hate group is the primary sponsor and you have well known fundie pastors such as John Hagee of San Antonio participating along with other Texas and national faith based haters, you have to call it as you see it.
And when 'only conservaChristians' are invited to participate, well....
To add to the three ring conservacircus that is event has become, the Phelps Phamily is coming to town to protest the event.
But if you conservafools are rolling your eyes and are muttering under your breath 'there she goes again', just check out some of the sponsors of this hate rally and some of the fouyl stuff they've previously said.
Probably why you've got such a small crowd coming with people like these as the co-sponsors and only one governor that even accepted the invite. Yep, we know haters when we see them.
This what the real Houston people of faith on the Houston Clergy Council had to say about this travesty desecrating Reliant Stadium.
We also express concern that the day of prayer and fasting at Reliant Stadium is not an inclusive event. As clergy leaders in the nation’s fourth largest city, we take pride in Houston’s vibrant and diverse religious landscape. Our religious communities include Bahais, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Unitarian Universalists, and many other faith traditions. Our city is also home to committed agnostics and atheists, with whom we share common cause as fellow Houstonians. Houston has long been known as a “live and let live” city, where all are respected and welcomed. It troubles us that the governor’s prayer event is not open to everyone. In the publicized materials, the governor has made it clear that only Christians of a particular kind are welcome to pray in a certain way. We feel that such an exclusive event does not reflect the rich tapestry of our city.
Sure doesn't. And you'll find that out from the real Houston in a few hours
