Ministry Urges Christians to Adopt Terrorists for Prayer


A new web-based ministry is urging Christians to adopt a terrorist and pray for them as Jesus Christ had instructed his disciples to love and pray for their enemies.

Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer (ATFP) agrees that the military needs to fight terrorism, but advocates prayer as a counter-offensive strategy not utilized by generals and politicians. ATFP founder Dr. Thomas Bruce believes the war on terrorism is a spiritual struggle against fear.

“The terrorists are just the highest profile intimidators in Satan's arsenal,” Bruce said in a released statement. “They think they are serving God.”

Bruce believes terrorism achieves Satan’s intention when it destroys courage by creating fear.

I want to say that this is unbelievable, but it's not. And, I'm not sure what is more outrageous, the article or the comments...

1. Hey -- I Think That's a Great Idea

Much better than hiring surrogates to go on a posse hunt shooting everyone who looks like onea terrorist.

4. I interpreted as

pray for them to find Jesus. Which would mean they don't respect the idea that people can choose other religions. And we know that's not going to solve the GWOT...it will just keep it going.

5. i can see how you got that...

but i just read 'pray for your enemies' and that is all i think they mean (of course some will take that as you did). And I don't think praying will stop or prolong the war...right now it is in the hands of men...and God (if there is one) is probably weeping...
