Thousands gathered in Washington for an America-themed prayer rally

Thousands of people have streamed onto the National Mall in Washington for a daylong prayer rally. The event Sunday is billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation under God.” President Donald Trump read a passage of Scripture in a video shown at the rally, the same footage used in a Bible-reading event last month. Most speakers celebrated Christianity’s ties to American history. It's a blending of ideas that critics flagged in advance of the prayer gathering as supporting Christian nationalism. The event was organized by a public-private partnership backed by the White House. Congressional Democrats see it as a Trump-controlled end run around a commission charted by Congress a decade ago to prepare 250th anniversary events.

They don't think Aliens, as in intelligent beings from other worlds, are real.....they think demons are real, and UFOs are demons.
It's not the reasonable position that it's a big old universe and we're not the centre of it, so there is the exciting possibility of other minds out there....nope, it's 'Demons'

These fanatics are going to get us all killed...

Outrage grows over US ambassador's remarks on Israel and the Middle East

There is fresh outrage over U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's remarks in an interview that Israel could “take it all” when asked about biblical claims to Middle East land. A U.S. Embassy spokesperson on Sunday said his comments were taken out of context and that U.S. policies on Israel have not changed. Huckabee in the interview also said Israel is not trying to seize neighboring lands. A growing group of Arab and Muslim nations is calling his remarks “dangerous and inflammatory.”
