(OPINION) ETH – The City of Seattle shut down a local park in advance of a massive gathering of Christian worshippers. Christians were banned from the park, but not Black Lives Matter or Antifa. Let that sink in, folks.“This is extraordinary:
Seattle denies Christians permit to worship peacefully OUTSIDE and then puts up fences to block them – but allows for outdoor protests and camps,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) wrote on Twitter. But instead of canceling the event, the Christians simply relocated the service to the street and called it a “worship protest.”
Brilliant! The worship protest also angered at least one Antifa member who noted, “The more I yell, the more f***ing fun they have.” Thousands of Christians sang together, “Our God reigns,” as they stood in the streets and atop of nearby buildings.
