Also doubles as a kill list for when they decide it’s time.
I’m pretty sure they just decided.
Welp, time to create the reverse app and tag houses that are religious.
Do what you want with that information.
As a Christian: this is absolutely despicable. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, and a huge part of loving someone is to respect their boundaries.
So screw this app and the people that built it. If you want to invite your neighbors to learn about Jesus:
- Set a good example
- Get to know them
- Invite only when it’s relevant (i.e. to a kid’s baptism or whatever)
If they want to learn about Jesus, they’ll ask.
As an atheist, I wish there were more Christians like you.
There are millions of them. You wouldn’t know it though, because they don’t announce themselves.
This is a yikes, they’re doing the Westboro Church tactics without wanting the money, just to harass.
The Mapping Center for Evangelism and Church Growth’s founder and president Chris Cooper suggests using the app to conduct neighborly activities such as putting on a barbecue for potential converts, but scattered throughout the app’s training and promotional videos are suggestions to undertake the controversial practice of “prayerwalking.” An idea becoming increasingly popular among Christian supremacist groups, prayerwalking involves believers flooding so-called “un-Christian” territories in order to combat “demonic strongholds.” In practice, it varies from blessing new neighbors to gathering groups to pray in front of everything from mosques to drag bars in service of “spiritual warfare.”
And how long until this app gets tied to several mass shootings and a spate of burning crosses?
I’ll give it about a week.
That is absolutely terrifying.
If I made a least of where all the Christians live, they’d rightfully freak the fuck out.
It would be a real shame if people started leaving reviews on the play store with their concerns. Real shame i tell you, its sitting at a 4.7 rating with all but 1 five star, and they gave it a four star.
Anyways for any god loving Christian who just wants to download their app to pray for their neighbors, ive taken the ten seconds needed to visit their site and grabbed their app links.

While I’d love to add my opinion to the Play Store reviews, there’s no way in Hell I’m installing some kind of Christofascist malware on any device that I control.
These lunatics have a disturbing amount of control in the US government.
Laughing at them might be fun, and I was doing it until recently, but they’re not joking. The worse our climate disasters become – and they will very soon – the more scared people will become, and the more these groups will take advantage of that fear. We’ll see more climate refugees, more desperation, and more fear. These groups prey on fear, and they’ll amplify it on purpose.
True fascism thrives on fear, which is why these people amplify it like they do. When climate disasters accelerate, these groups will harness the social upheaval to take control. I don’t know what we can do to stop it, but we should all be thinking about and sharing ways to head it off, because they’ve got plans in place already.
I know I sound paranoid, but I’ve been watching them and these aren’t my ideas, but theirs. They talk about this a lot, and if we aren’t prepared, their plans could actually work. I don’t want to live in the fascist future they’re planning. If we don’t combat it, we’ll be living in the Handmaid’s Tale before most of us realise.
I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.
I did that and converted a Jehovah’s Witness to Linuxism.
Are the JW’s using this? Two stopped by my door a few weeks ago to convert me or us (my wife is Catholic, I’m atheist). I noticed that they drove separately, and I wondered why they hated the environment so much (we live off the beaten path). And I’m pretty sure they ONLY stopped at our house, one parked in our driveway and the other along the road in front of the house. It definitely didn’t seem like a general canvass.
How does that relate to Linux usage?
Which distro?
The fundies are always carrying on about daemons, I hope you set the JWs up with all the “best” ones, and more.
I actually had them install Ubuntu Christian Edition and showed them the bible apps where they could even use their own interpretation of the bible.
I don’t like to waste my time just to fuck with people, I usually try to fuck with people in a way which benefits society as a whole.
