Tonight's "prayer" from FreeRepublic...
I cannot believe this shit. There must be a LOT of crazies out there being whipped up by this shit. This is truly dangerous. I won't give the link.
- - - - -
Dear Heavenly Father, We are a sick and dying nation - and tonight, we were fed poison that very well may be fatal to our liberty, to our government, to our way of life. Tonight, along party lines, wicked people voted away our future and took that which was not theirs to take to increase their power in government. May it do them no good, and may the statesmen who voted against he atrocity be blessed for standing - even if it is just this once - for something higher than political power. This bill, which President Obama will sign into law, will just be the beginning. As vampires they will suck the very life out of this nation, and will never be satiated until she is dead. The love of money truly is the root of all evil; and the love of power is close behind.
Cursed be those who hold up wealth and power above You! Unless they repent, they will surely perish and not even take so much as a penny with them. It may take years, but those who mock You, who seek to stop Your people in their prayers, who abuse the system to the point that it is obscene, will face their judge, and when they do it will not be pretty. Vengeance is Yours.

These are the architects who have built the altars upon which Moloch's great sacrifices are laid forth. They have quarried the stones and have gathered the wood. They have lit the flame and their fate will be the same - lest they repent.

They seek to silence prayer, to silence religious freedom, to control Your people. They must not succeed. Be it prayer in school, or how one treats their own children - the important things, the really important things are under attack. Our freedom. Our Constitution. Our lives.

Cursed be every dollar this nation makes if it does not glorify You. We shall not sell our souls for mammon.

Cursed be the lies told to the stupid foolish masses. May their eyes be opened and may they shrink in horror for what they have done. If there is time to repent, bring this nation back to its first love. If not, shield us from Your wrath and protect us from evil.

Barack Obama is an evil man. He is evil because of the things he promotes. He is evil because he even dared to use You as a reason for pursuing the destruction of embryos to the god "Science". Lord, shake him. Break the hold of Satan over him. Show him how evil the things he is callously persuing are. And bring him to repentance.

We want things to go well in this nation. We don't care if it is a Democrat or Republican, a Constitution Partiest, or a Green party- IF they truly follow You. Partisan politics has bred greed. It has created cliques. It has destroyed good people. I don't want parties any more. Rather, I want for us to be gathered according to principle.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

Lord, remember those who have not traded those rights for celebrity - and help us to win our nation back again.

They must not bring us into servitude. They must not be allowed to destroy our freedom to worship You. For our sake, and for the world's sake, we ask that Your presence would be made unmistakably real in this nation and that in so doing America would turn to You en masse.

Short of this, I pray that You would come to gather us with You in the clouds. It is very painful to witness the destruction and dismantling of a nation so blessed; yet our ultimate citizenship is in Heaven. How we long to be with You Lord. Still, for our nation's sake, we would that You would bring revival. Nevertheless we Yield to Your will.

And it is in Jesus' blessed and holy name that I pray these things, Amen.

7. Insanity. Flat out insanity.
I'm not getting how this bill threatens liberty or freedom to worship or any of what this rather psychotic person is blathering on about. How can one be so obtuse about what has happened these past eight years and how we got to this dark place? It's kind of sad in a way.

9. If they truly believe that their God is all-powerful..........
Then it stands to reason that their God wanted Barack Obama to be President of the United States.

Which means their God wants them to get over it and get a life.

Disobedience risks their God's wrath and fury. Deal with it.

14. You know who should be praying?


"They seek to silence prayer, to silence religious freedom, to control Your people. They must not succeed. Be it prayer in school, or how one treats their own children - the important things, the really important things are under attack. Our freedom. Our Constitution. Our lives."

From the above I'm guessing their children should.

20. ha!
1. "The love of money truly is the root of all evil" (but it's money that pays for that asswipe's internet connection!)

2. "Cursed be the lies told to the stupid foolish masses." (NO SHIT! that is exactly what we've been trying to tell those sheeple for the past 8 fucking years!)

3. "I don't want parties any more." (GOOD. because you sound like a real drag--no one wants you at their party. you're the one who is not invited.)

4. "President Obama" (note the word "President"--capitol "P" and everything. that's a hell of a lot more respectful than the way i used to refer to "the fuckhead" as "the fuckhead.")

5. sounds like someone needs to read this:

22. Nothing worse than psuedo-political-religious piety.
This same ding-dong has been praying for God's support of Bush for years...while they've been killing hundreds of thousands of people based on lies. A flaming hypocrite who cloaks their politics in prayer-speak. You know these people. They'll never confront you directly on their political opinions, but have no problems praying out loud to an imaginary 3rd party and posting their stupid political bullshit. Obviously, if there is a God, he hasn't answered a single fucking prayer this retard has spent the last 8 years spewing. Doubtful things will change. You'd think maybe he/she might ponder that point....

25. A liberal prayer.........
"Father God,

This week, as the world looks on, help the leaders in this room create a civil dialogue about our future.

We need you, God, as individuals and also as a nation.

We need you to protect us from our enemies, but also from ourselves, because we are easily tempted toward apathy.

Give us a passion to advance opportunities for the least of these, for widows and orphans, for single moms and children whose fathers have left.

Give us the eyes to see them, and the ears to hear them, and hands willing to serve them.

Help us serve people, not just causes. And stand up to specific injustices rather than vague notions.

Give those in this room who have power, along with those who will meet next week, the courage to work together to finally provide health care to those who don’t have any, and a living wage so families can thrive rather than struggle.

Hep us figure out how to pay teachers what they deserve and give children an equal opportunity to get a college education.

Help us figure out the balance between economic opportunity and corporate gluttony.

We have tried to solve these problems ourselves but they are still there. We need your help.

Father, will you restore our moral standing in the world.

A lot of people don’t like us but that’s because they don’t know the heart of the average American.

Will you give us favor and forgiveness, along with our allies around the world.

Help us be an example of humility and strength once again.

Lastly, father, unify us.

Even in our diversity help us see how much we have in common.

And unify us not just in our ideas and in our sentiments—but in our actions, as we look around and figure out something we can do to help create an America even greater than the one we have come to cherish.

God we know that you are good.

Thank you for blessing us in so many ways as Americans.

I make these requests in the name of your son, Jesus, who gave his own life against the forces of injustice.

Let Him be our example.

Amen."

27. Bush runs up 8-9 trillion dollars in budget & current account deficits, and they
never pray over it -- not once. Obama spends 10% of that to jump-start an economy Bush wrecked, and suddenly they start ejaculating prayers?

29. Sad for many reasons
It seems that Christianity never has any problem demonizing the poor, nor praising the rich, which is why it has been used to keep people in line in this country for too long. Not that I blame Christ himself, he is the one who said plainly that "it is harder for a camel to get through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." He also said "blessed are the poor."

But as far as principle goes, how you this person ask to be gathered according to principle when the last eight years have seen a dismantling of principle? It is one thing to allow a person to earn money based on what they provide, but the last eight years have seen people turn every aspect of this country into a criminal scheme, including the Iraq War, which, regardless of if you even agree for the reason it started, was run like business venture by companies that could send men to war, but would not provide body armor for them, or care for those wounded.

Note that Christ said "as you care for the LEAST of those, so shall you care for me". Remember how in his example, many cried to the Lord, saying "did we not do great things in your name?" but because they did not care for their fellow, they were told "I do NOT know you." This country has been blatant about the fact it did not care for the weak in this country. People were demonized for being poor, even if what put them there was a Medical Bill, or a transfer of jobs to China. How can you act like a Christian, when it is plain that you are not willing to allow good to be done to the "least of these?" Do not be surprised if you are told "I do not know you" on Judgement Day!
