Why didn't they just stay in the comfort of their homes and pray? If they can ask God to end it, why bother with the politicians at all?

thumb: It was a protest organized by, and mostly comprising, Christians. Look it up for yourself. And how the hell could you read this question to mean that I am against protesting?!

The power of prayer is mighty.
Imagine rattling the politicians AND praying? Wow, what a statement, huh?

You might as well ask why feed yourself, take care of your children or work.
People will do what they want to do.
The media portrayed the event as being Christian because there were some churches involved in the organization of the event.
As one of my friends likes to point out often, just because it is a place of worship called a church does not mean it is Christian.
The meaning of the word Church at the time of Christ is "Assembly of Men", not relating to any specific method of worship or religion.
And what does Christian mean anyway? Muslims believe Jesus was the Messiah, does that make them Christian? How about "Jews for Jesus", are they Christian?
I could poke holes in your question all day, but, I would have to believe you could learn something. Godzilla keeps getting his *** kicked by the Japanese and he never learns.

I dont think that being a Christian means you think God will do what you want if you pray to him. And although I am not a practicing Christian, I think its very naive of you to think that.
God isnt just an escape for them to sit home and pray to him and then they believe what they pray is going to happen.
Showing interest in politics and standing up for what you believe is entitled to everyone, including Christians who pray to god.

What facts back up your generalized statement that the protesters were all Christians?
What part of the first amendment isn't understood? All those protesters, be they Christian or not, have a right to lawfully assemble.

Don't know but do you know that many Jews are not Zionists?
They believe that the state of Israel has no right to exist. And they protest on a regular basis but our media ignores them.
Everyone has an opinion, no matter what.

If we are going to protest our government, we need to do it as US citizens, not behind the curtain of Christians, Whites, Hispanics, Blacks, Homosexuals, Athiests, etc.
We are Citizens and need to stand that way, not creating divisions among ourselves.

Jesus said to love your enemy, he always talked about LOVE and some need to demostrate, it's a tangible piece of evidence that if it falls on deaf ears then maybe we will see if you can see our unrest about this war. I demostrated in the 60's for civil rights and i guess they got the message by way of tv.

Oh my, isn't opposition to the war going against the will of God? I thought Bush said God told him to do it.
