An Expected 80,000 Christian Men Afraid of Men Wearing Dresses Will Gather in Dallas

In a city like Dallas, once named "the most Bible-thumping city in Texas,” it’s perhaps not entirely surprising to expect 80,000 Christians in one big gathering. There is, after all, a CPAC convention scheduled in Dallas just next week, the QAnon conference that took place at the end of May, and there’s always the after-church Sunday crowd at IHOP, which seems just as populous.

On July 16 and 17, more conservatives will be descending en masse in Arlington when the AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, hosts the Promise Keepers 2021 Men's Conference.

The conference’s website says those attending will learn the “tools that empower you to be the man Christ intended you to be,” and Promise Keepers chairman Ken Harrison said in a press release for the event that “the world is wondering what happened to American men.”

Harrison offered no context as to the nature of the world’s alleged concern for American men, but in an April 23 radio interview with Steve Bannon, Harrison, a former LAPD officer, was less vague about the organization's mission.

I'm so glad I'm leaving my man side forever. This shit is so funny and pathetic. I'll wear dresses. What are you gonna do about it, Harrison? You seem triggered. 80k Christian men in a stadium? That doesn't sound at all gay does it?

Sad innocent people will get sick & some will likely die as a result.

Can we lock them in for a couple of weeks & air drop food & water?

Only bad because innocent people will most likely be adversely affected.

for themselves, and then become that man.

They need a (potentially mythical) character from 2000 years ago, who never wrote a single word himself ... to 'tell' them 'who they are meant to be' ... vis-a-vis a handful of other men who claimed 1800 years ago to know what the guy from 2000 years ago said ... and thus scribbled some shit down... based on absolutely nothing but their imaginations.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Are well-rested. Business tends to boom whenever and wherever a conservative Christian conference goes on.
