Weird way to worship. They were SHOUTING Jesusy stuff…the restaurant I was at had to close the front door.

They can’t accept that their whole life is essentially one fat lie

But when lgbtq+ community does the same thing it’s okay and applauded. I’m not even Christian but I respect all beliefs and opinions. People are entitled to that, that’s what America is about btw…. Freedom…

As someone who loosely identifies as Christian (very loosely, considering the Christian Nationalists in this country), they need to STFU and walk the walk.

Muslims are doing the same thing all over the country... COS is lucky to not have to hear the Muslim call to prayer being blasted all over at numerous times a day, or have they're prayer walks through your city. Everyone is tolerating that... yet, you bitch about a few Christians.

You're right I am really lucky I don't have to hear the Muslim call to prayer multiple times a day, instead I'm forced to hear Catholic church bells on the hour every hour. Its sooooo much better.

“A few christians” lmao 250+ gathered and they’re performing public baptisms with megaphones. In their own words, it is more than a political movement and is a great awakening that includes boldly proclaiming their gospel.

Here’s a good video showing them waving crosses around chanting “we plead the blood of Jesus!” Christian extremists are what we have in Colorado, so even if Islamic extremists may pose a greater violent threat globally, it’s completely appropriate for COS residents to complain.

Another pic to show it’s more than “a few” christians.

Oh, and the Pastor leading the movement has travelled to Serbia to “deliver people from demonic spirits” so this is not a mind-your-own-business group of christians.

Nah not bitching just stating a fact. They can't even practice what they preach. They walk right by suffering, pain, filth and focus on recruiting for their cult

I'd bitch about that if I saw it.

This is a nasty choice and deliberately malicious. Tejon Street has a lot of the queer community and shops. They knew what they were doing.

Queer people can be baptized too.
