    They’re praying to Moloch, a biblical deity associated with child sacrifice.

    Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’m joking.

          Not all of them. Some of them (us, I’m Christian myself) do, others listen to Jesus who said:

          and when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. (Matthew 6:5)

          I pray in public all the time. Nobody ever saw me do it, outside of services in churches or in the privacy of Christians’ homes. These guys don’t pray, they show off.

            You have a point, but how do you know they are showing off?

            It’s possible the media just happened to capture them in the act.

              Their entire political platform is ostentatious christ-baiting and lip-service. Everything they do is for show. These are not true believers in christ, they are charlatans.
