Has the Next Great Awakening Begun?

No, this is just some social media attention-whoring crap.

I don't think people realize how tiny and irrelevant 50,000 people actually is today. They're comparing this to Woodstock, but 400,000 people attended that almost 55 years ago, and that was in a field, not a cozy air-conditioned chapel at a university. (I wouldn't even be surprised if a higher percentage of the filthy hippies at Woodstock were gainfully employed than the people at this fake revival, but that's a separate point.) Even compared to other Christian events, it's not impressive. The March for Life, which is a de facto nondenominational Christian pilgrimage to DC, is way more impressive than this Asbury crap.

If we were seeing 50,000 Christians organizing to make sandwiches for orphans, then maybe I'd be a little more impressed, but this strikes me as more of the same boring Evangelical crap amplified by social media. It'd be like saying the success of God's Not Dead is evidence of a Great Awakening.
