A group of fake Christians are claiming that I-35 is a holy highway. They claim that through the help of prayer this holy highway will cleanse strip clubs and other adult businesses that surround it. It is interesting that all of a sudden fake Christians like Pat Robertson and others are talking about how I-35 is a holy highway right when there is a major push by the global elite to expand I-35 into the NAFTA superhighway. The expansion of I-35 into the NAFTA superhighway has been a topic of much controversy as it will force people off of their property via way of eminent domain. Fake Christians like Pat Robertson are attempting to brainwash Christians into believing that I-35 is a holy highway and that because it is a holy highway it is god's will to take people's surrounding property in order to expand it. This is a well timed and very diabolical propaganda campaign by the fake Christian right in order to convince people that the expansion of I-35 into the NAFTA superhighway is a divine undertaking.
Below is a video clip of Pat Robertson from the 700 Club talking about how I-35 is a holy highway. One man even claims that the I-35 prayer groups helped cure him of his homosexuality.

Interstate to heaven? Evangelicals pray for 'highway of holiness' David Edwards and Jason Rhyne Published: Thursday December 20, 2007
A devout group of evangelical Christians in the Midwest are flocking to help purify a spot they believe the Bible has ordained as holy ground -- and it happens to be 1,500 miles of interstate asphalt.
Why the location?
According to CNN, the small contingent of churchgoers believe that Interstate 35, a sprawling highway running from Texas to Minnesota, is specifically mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 35.
"A highway shall be there, and a road," reads a portion of the chapter's verse eight, "and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it..."
But if I-35 is indeed the place, some Christians believe there's a lot of work to be done before the road can fulfill its saintly destiny, according to CNN's Gary Tuchman, who was on the scene in Texas as believers launched an effort to pray for the road.
"Churchgoers in all six states recently finished 35 days of praying alongside Interstate 35, but the prayers are still continuing," reports Tuchman. "Some of the faithful believe that in order to fulfill the prophecy of I-35 being the 'holy' highway, it needs some intensive prayer first. So we watched as about 25 fervent and enthusiastic Christians prayed on the the interstate's shoulder in Dallas."
Their prayers go out for safer neighborhoods, "more godliness" and also in hopes that businesses lining the highway, including strip clubs and other "unclean" establishments, might clean up their act.
Tuchman says the faithful also point to "a link between the area near this highway and tragedies that have happened in history, such as the bridge collapse on I-35 in Minneapolis last August and the assassination of JFK 44 years ago near I-35 in Dallas."
"We just want to say 'wow, why would this happen on one highway,'" one of the prayer campaign's organizers, Cindy Jacobs, told CNN. "Let's pray that there be safety for everyone on these highways."
Helping to publicize the groups' efforts is Christian televangelist Pat Robertson, who has featured the I-35 prayers on his Christian Broadcasting Network.
"What an amazing story," said Robertson. "Well, wouldn't that be wonderful... cut a line right down the middle of America and let it spread to both coasts."

This is the sort of thing that really alienates most people from these "evangelical" sects.
They are truly deluded and can convince themselves of anything that pops into their head. That would be bad enough, but what makes them sort of dangerous is that they attempt to impose their beliefs on others, and act out their fantasies in real life.

Robertson endorses Giuliani and now this? Giuliani's law firm could have put in a request to the 700 club to help raise awareness among the viewer "flock."
