Death Prayer

[Bitchkoma]

Drake, former SBC officer, says he's praying for Obama to die (updated) (http://www.abpnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4126&Itemid=53)

[offsite:3bp7rnbl]NEW YORK (ABP) -- A former Southern Baptist Convention officer who on June 2 called the death of abortion provider George Tiller an answer to prayer said later in the day he is also praying "imprecatory prayer" against President Obama.

[...]

"Imprecatory prayer is agreeing with God, and if people don't like that, they need to talk to God," Drake told syndicated talk-show host Alan Colmes. "God said it, I didn't. I was just agreeing with God."

[...]

Asked if there are others for whom Drake is praying "imprecatory prayer," Drake hesitated before answering that there are several. "The usurper that is in the White House is one, B. Hussein Obama," he said.

Later in the interview, Colmes returned to Drake's answer to make sure he heard him right.

"Are you praying for his death?" Colmes asked.

"Yes," Drake replied.

"So you're praying for the death of the president of the United States?"

"Yes."

Colmes asked Drake if he was concerned that by saying that he might be placed on a Secret Service or FBI watch list, and if he believed it appropriate to talk or pray that way.

"I think it's appropriate to pray the Word of God," Drake said. "I'm not saying anything. What I am doing is repeating what God is saying, and if that puts me on somebody's list, then I'll just have to be on their list."

"You would like for the president of the United States to die?" Colmes asked once more.

"If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death, that's correct." [...][/offsite:3bp7rnbl]

Wow. What a horrible excuse for a priest and a human being for that matter.

Whatever happened to turning the other cheek or noticing the log in your own eye before you point out the twig in anothers?

[Bitchkoma]

Yeah. Well religious leaders aren't really known for that. But whatever. I'm amused by the mental gymnastics involved to actually say out loud that line I underlined.

Shit, skunky. You're kinda dense. No wonder BE likes to troll you. Don't be pissed, I didn't say that. God said that, so now I'm telling you what He said.

[skunk]

God is an asshole I guess.

[Bitchkoma]

Nah, his sense of humour is just beyond most mere mortals.

Barack is the best president since Jefferson.

[theeindiee]

Barack Hussein Obama is a sitting duck.

I personally don't mind the man anymore. He'll do what he does... and I will do what I do, and then whatever comes about will be what comes about.

God is at least as much of an asshole as anyone else is. At least God admits it.

[GhostOfCaptSpaulding]

The people who believe a god speaks through them are the true assholes.

Oh, and anyone who believes them...

[pack3tg0st]

Barack is the best president since Jefferson.

That remains to be seen man...

He's only been in office 5 months... 43 months to go...

we won't see the effects of a presidency until about a decade or two later anyway...

I remember people thinking Regan was the shiznit... now look where we're at...

Not that I would think you would, but be leery of falling for the "cult of personality" that surrounds the man right now...

[theeindiee]

Anyone who believes God DOESN'T speak through them is an asshole, or perhaps just a pawn.

[apeci]

we won't see the effects of a presidency until about a decade or two later anyway...

I think we saw the effects of Bush 2.0 pretty fucking fast.

[Bitchkoma]

Coke speeds up metabolism.

[GhostOfCaptSpaulding]

Anyone who claims to exclusivity to speak on their god's behalf is a self-serving asshole and their acolytes are fools.

[boycotteverything]

wow. lots of assholery being tossed around tonight.

[GhostOfCaptSpaulding]

Yes, tossing salads involves assholery.

Just ask the Catholic church...

[Bitchkoma]

Speaking of tossed salads, I've watched this show (http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7794625&style=ice) and I think it has potential to be a franchise.

you know my Dad once said to me never argue about Religion,Polotics,and war,its an argument you cannot win, ,but the disscussion must go-on folks Religion SUCKS in all forms but i believe in GOD. wherever he is.

[GeneralStriker]

never argue about Religion, Politics, and war, it's an argument you cannot winThat sorta begs the issue. Arguments are not for winning- they're for learning.

[skunk]

What do you think the douche bag in the OP learned from this discussion?

[boycotteverything]

I'm not sure he's reading it.

I may disagree with Obama on many issues, as I did with Bush and Cheney, but you don't see me calling for their execution by god or otherwise.

That's instigating violence in a country already divided by bigotry and racism, which is just asking for trouble. We don't need some nut job fundamentals attempting murder on anyone, president or not, because jesus (or their pastor) told them it was a good idea.

Fuck these douche bags.

[boycotteverything]

The asshole who shot Dr. Tiller was hanging on the hateful words of the Operation Rescue/ Drake/Bush/Limbaugh/Hannity/Fox scum. As much as I hate the word 'evil' it's justly used in describing these bastards.

[pack3tg0st]

LOL they'll get "noisier" after this year I'm thinking...

U.S. Census...

The "fundies" will see how much ground they've lost, do the math, and realize that they're religion will be mostly dead within a generation...

Then, they'll recruit...

[skunk]

Huh, sounds like mormonism.

I strongly encourage slamming the door in the face of the US Census goon that is going house to house in select areas recording the front door GPS coordinates.

Also the long census form has become unacceptably intrusive. Ignore everything except the one question the feds are constitutionally allowed to ask, "How many people are living in this household?" They'll threaten you with fine or jail, but they don't have the authority. Fuck them.

[pack3tg0st]

If they ask for your ssn, you now have the right to refuse to give out anythign but the last 4...

That was a law passed a few years ago...

No one is required to tell someone their SSN

[pack3tg0st]

oh shit! they did away with the long form for 2010

From Census Website: The 2010 Census will be a short-form only census and will count all residents living in the United States as well as ask for name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, relationship and housing tenure

[boycotteverything]

i just toss mine in the recycle bin. on the other hand i wouldn't call the census takers 'goons.' just poor folks trying buy some groceries.

[pack3tg0st]

apparently there's a 500 fine if you dont' respond lol

They still have no right to ask anything beyond a head count, but they haven't cared about their own laws for two centuries now, so what else is new.

The issue of the goons being sent door-to-door remains, however. The Obama is even deploying his ACORN strike force to bag 'em and tag 'em.

[pack3tg0st]

they passed laws... in 2004... and again in 2008...

I'm reading em...

Title 13 U.S.C.

Unfortunately, according to the constitution, if congress votes it into statute... it is law...

The constitution doesn't prevent them from digging deeper...

1984

[apeci]

Congress is limited to powers defined by the Constitution and whatever actions necessary to fulfill those defined powers. They can not simply expand on what's written to add whatever they please without proper amendment, but that's what they do.

[boycotteverything]

apparently there's a 500 fine if you dont' respond lollet 'em squeeze wine from this turnip!
