There were TWO major religious events that were orchestrated on that date. One was THE CALL. About 100,000 people from all across the nation met in stadiums and large churches to cry out to God for this nation. People in Charismatic Churches in particular no longer are willing to stand for things as they are. The cry out to God is tangible. Several people I know attended the event that was the core in Tennessee in the Titans Stadium.
Lou Engle who is someone I know and respect (He heads the Justice House of Prayer in Washington DC) was the organizer of the call. This is a movement of which I am a part. There were gatherings in Green Bay at Lambaeau field. In Florida and many other places. The most were in Titan Stadium where about 60,000 gathered.
OH, you didn't hear about it? HMMMM wonder why?
It's religion.
Wait, what did you hear about in the mainstream media? Live Earth. Al Gore. 7 Concerts from around the world. Here's a report from the BBC.
Live Earth has been branded a foul-mouthed flop.
Organisers of the global music concert - punctuated by swearing from presenters and performers - had predicted massive viewing figures.
But BBC's live afternoon television coverage attracted an average British audience of just 900,000.
In the evening, when coverage switched from BBC2 to BBC1, the figure rose to just 2.7 million.
And the peak audience, which came when Madonna sang at Wembley, was a dismal 4.5 million. Three times as many viewers saw the Princess Diana tribute on the same channel six days before.
Two years ago, Live 8 drew a peak television audience of 9.6million while Live Aid notched 10million in 1985.
The BBC blamed the poor figures on Saturday's good weather and said its Wimbledon tennis coverage had drawn away afternoon viewers.
Critics said however that the public had simply snubbed what they saw as a hypocritical event.
Musicians including Bob Geldof, Roger Daltrey and the Pet Shop Boys pointed out that a concert highlighting climate change had itself generated huge carbon emissions.
Performers were criticised for flying to concerts that were staged simultaneously on seven continents.
The BBC's coverage, which ran for 15 hours from 12.30pm on Saturday to 4am yesterday, also sparked dozens of complaints about bad language.
Contrast that report with the ones above. They were both religious events. One Godly, One Pagan - earth worship. Nothing every changes. Those who worship the earth have always been who they are. And this is no different.
We are in deep doo doo.

Wicca is an actual religion and had nothing to do with this concert. You obviously know nothing about Wicca, and you should if you are going to be constantly making reference to it as the enemy. There is plenty of information out there on the web for you to read if you want to respect this religion as you would ask others to respect yours and the extreme branch of it that you align yourself with. An attempt at clever writing and fake analogies is no excuse for disrespect.
