1) Ask God for more time. Pray that Terri not die, even if God has to keep her alive supernaturally for awhile. (note: WTF?????)
You didn't know this, but their 'God' does magic. If it weren't for magic, they wouldn't even believe in Him. Yes, their spiritual world and theology is a special-case materialism.
2) Repent on behalf of our nation for allowing death to rule through greed and selfishness. Repent for our complacency and dullness to the horrible genocide in America through abortion and other means.
Check the mirrors, fellas. How about first atoning for the genocide your Very Christian ancestors created and profitted from.
3) Ask God for mercy on us.
These Pharisees and pagans-with-a-Christian-facade always need it.
4) Stand against this spirit of death. Make biblical decrees against it. Decree that America's covenant with death will be broken (Isaiah 28:15,18), as well as anything else He gives you to pray and decree.
The Christian Right's 'Christianity' is a death-fearing/worshipping occultism. For all their supposed love of life, they're surprisingly willing to leave it to those of us who will be Left Behind, if I understand what they say. And they love End Times. Which is typical of a dying culture.
5) Do not turn this over to the courts. It may appear that they have the final say but they don't. For too long, the church has failed to realize that we have more authority on earth than any human institution. We lose by default. Take this situation out of their hands and rule through spiritual authority and weapons. (This is also all about the spiritual battle that is taking place over the ungodly element in our courts.)
Translation: More 'Christian' magic and occultism. More 'prayer warriors' and Republican hypocrites, liars, and abusers of the 14th Amendment. More killing. Marcionism and Manichaeanism, welcome to the 21st century!
6) Pray for Governor Jeb Bush. Pray that, like the midwives in Egypt, he refuses to honor this decree of death. Pray that he realizes he is an Esther, placed where he is for such a time as this. Pray that he makes the same stand she did – "If I perish, I perish, but I will do what is right in the sight of God" (see Esther 4:16). Pray against fear, compromise and political spirits. Pray for wisdom, strength and boldness. He is a good man and fighting hard. Undergird him.
I'll add the one Jesus said on the Cross : Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Very interesting that they also invoke Esther- who, in a transparently fictional and allegorical book probably intended to illustrate the errors of occultism, murdered in the name of God. I pray that like e e cummings's Olaf Big And Strong, there is Shit They Will Not Eat dispensed by their leaders, but it is doubtful.
As an ex-Christian, I'm always struck how the people who most understand the Bible ultimately walk away from organized Christianity. And those whose understanding is utterly superficial become SuperChristians. It's a well known paradox that both Mark Twain and Gandhi commented upon, and quite a few others too (like Niebuhr).
