VA Leftists walk out of opening prayer

[rightwinger]

With newly empowered Democrats in the Virginia state house ready to advance legislation lifting abortion restrictions and eager to strengthen protections for those in the LGBT community, Reverend Dr. Robert M Grant, Jr. didn't hold back in his opening prayer before the General Assembly Tuesday morning.

In a scathing, biblically based denunciation of same-sex "marriage" and abortion, the pastor's 6-minute prayer drove some Democrats to walk off the floor

The preacher was relaying God's word from the Bible and the murderous heathens didn't want to hear the truth..

Nothing. Sinners Just don’t want hear it. They know deep down inside it’s wrong but don’t want to admit it.

 

[karpenter]

Opening prayers for legislative bodies are not the place for hate filled rants.

[OKTexas]

Anyone who stayed and didn't walk off would appear to support this "reverend's" overtly partisan politics and be praying for what he was praying about. He should have had more respect for the General Assembly. He was supposed to be addressing the Supreme Being on behalf of the entire Assembly and he failed to respect this fact. I'm thinking that the procedure of opening the proceedings of a government entity is not a good idea. There is plenty of time to pray or not before or after the official proceedings.

Yep, those heathens don't like to be reminded of their sins.

What is a "heathen" and what does being such a thing have anything to do with the General Assembly? Moreover, you have cannot have any idea of what the beliefs are of those who walked out. This guy was trying to turn the General Assembly into a captive audience. This is unacceptable. If he wants to hold a prayer service in support of his views, he is welcome to do so before or after the official proceedings.

A heathen is someone who does NOT believe in GOD. Non-believer = HEATHEN. Thank you.

So a "heathen" is someone who believes that there is no supreme being? It's a synonym for "atheist"? Regardless, why is there this push by fundie supposed-"Christians" to find captive audiences that they can mis-identify as auditoriums or stadiums full of people who support the views of someone like frankie graham or jeffress or someone of that bunch? The Virginia General Assembly represents all of the people of the Commonwealth, yet this guy was trying to make it look like the entire body was praying for everything that he was asking for in his speech, regardless of the beliefs of the individuals who make up the General Assembly and their constituents.

Actually I'd say about 85-95% of real Virginians views would more align with those of the pastor. That's already been proven with the 2A sanctuary areas that now exist in the State, since the godless commies started threatening draconian gun laws.

You seem unable to understand that prayer means asking something of the Supreme Being. The members of the General Assembly were asked to stand and endorse this guy's views, which would involve lying to the Creator.

This prayer was relevant only to people who believe that Jesus was/is the messiah, that the entire Bible, regardless of which version, was written by the Supreme Being, that this compilation of writings is therefore inerrant and infallible, and who also believe that this guy's views necessarily represent the views expressed in the bible. You speak of "God's word" and "murderous heathens" who didn't want to hear "the truth", yet you also posted

heathen

adjective
disapproving

US

/ˈhi·ðən/

esp. in the past, of people or their way of life, activities, and ideas) having no religion, or belonging to a religion that is not Christianity, Judaism, or Islam

HEATHEN | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

Jews do not believe that Jesus was the messiah. They do not believe in the NT. Muslims regard Jesus as a prophet, but that another prophet came after him. There is no mention of the possibility that other prophets of the Supreme Being could come later.

This all necessarily excludes all people who follow other religions.

This guy's "prayer" was an effort to force all members of the assembly to endorse his distinct views.

This is why I don't think that these public prayers are a good idea as they provide an opportunity for a captive audience. All members of the General Assembly are free, of course, to ask their Creator to guide their decisions.

Who is a "real Virginian"? There is no such animal as a "fake Virginian."

Your attempt to connect the Supreme Being with guns is grossly disgusting and an insult to faith of every sort.

A lot of the remote boondocks of Virginia seceded from the slave based commonwealth in 1863 and became free West Virginia, should the others follow?

I think the pastor should have focused on unity and things that all Virginians, all religions can agree. That said, I also think that this crop of Liberal Democrats that have taken over Virginia are going to push it and Virginia will vote for Trump and Republicans in November.

Virginia is changing. It no longer depends on rural grown tobacco for revenue. The center of mass has now moved towards suburban DC and voters no longer cherish the old southern values

The fact that you hate the man's speech doesn't make it "hate speech"

Almighty God's problems with the LGBTQ community really started when the Gay Community in Sodom tried to recruit 2 of His angels into the Homosexual Lifestyle. The Homo Community has never apologized to Almighty God over that, have yet to accept responsibility.
