Over the weekend, Cindy and Mike Jacobs of Generals International hosted a three hour event in Dallas, TX designed to be a "powerful night of worship and prayer for the elections and the state of our government in the United States."

During the event, they showed the video David Barton produced warning Christians that God will hold them responsible for how they vote as well as two videos produced by Jim Garlow who wanted to be there in person but could not attend.

I've edited down the entire event to a short, two-minute clip featuring:

* Cindy Jacobs declaring that the Holy Spirit had spoken to her and declared that if Latinos would vote "righteousness" and support candidates who oppose gay marriage and abortion, then God would see to it that they get comprehensive immigration reform;

* Tom Schlueter getting on his knees and dipping the US flag to God, asking Him to break any elected leader who will not humble themselves before Him;

* Randy Delp "praying in proxy for those about to be aborted," by screaming "Let Us Live";

* And finally Jacobs again declaring that thank to their prayers, "God is going to do something supernatural in these elections"

1. Wow...God rewards you for voting against your social/economic best interests. Just...WOW!!

Scary that people are dumb enough to believe this garbage. God rewards them for voting against themselves. Sick.

And...I'm sure these televangelists picked everybody's pockets before finally letting them go.

2. Do these people know about the separation of church and state?

Why are they allowed to be tax exempt and be political as well?

Can any of them here the voices of Afghanis and Iraqs that want to live? Or is only American babies voices?

5. I believe that so long as they don't endorse a party

or a candidate directly it's smooth tax exempt sailing.

3. This is such an overreach SOME for the faithful have to

be saying "yeah, sure God is interested in elections" I mean come on this is such bull....

[SkyDaddy7]

7. There is a widespread concerted effort...

by untold number of churches who are outright violating their tax exempt status by openly telling their weak minded flock who to vote for...They know they won't be challenged & when others see them getting away with it then more will do it...We are on the fast track to a corporate controlled theocracy!

4. 17th Century Politics; where's Cromwell?

Isn't it great that we're so advanced?

Ya don't need no stinkin gubmint, jist git rite with jebus!

[sulphurdunn]

6. If Hell exists

there's probably a special place in the ninth circle of it for these frauds. But that doesn't really matter. I'd like to give 'em hell right here on earth in the sweet, y'all can kiss my ass present.

8. I can't wait to go to war with the fundies!
