Powerful Baptist Pastor Prays for Obama's Death - Audio »
Posted By metavirus 5 months ago in ReligionThe Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest denomination, has been embarrassed by the comments of the Rev. Wiley Drake, a former officer in the convention, who said he is praying for the death of the president.
Drake, a former SBC vice president who ran for president of the organization last year, said in a recent interview on Fox News Radio: "I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause [Obama's] death."

"Why would this nut add fuel to the fire for those that hate his religion? Is he just a moron or what?"

A more interesting question is, just how far afield is this guy from his declared belief system? He's not God's servant, God is his hitman? What gospel does THAT show up in?

You can ask God for many things through prayer..death of a president isn't on the list to my knowledge.
The way i was taught to deal with people i didn't like through prayer was very simple.
Ask God to give the person(s) that i didn't like what he thought they deserved..not what i thought..If that is good,so be it.If it isn't oh well. -

Actually, I have to admit that there have been times when I felt that we would be better off if Bush was no longer with us. Then I realize that it wouldn't be good for the country or the world in general. Besides, he had the ultimate bullet proof vest, Dick Cheney. -

Clap him in leg-irons, put him in the stocks and stone him to death?

Or crucify him upside down and play "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" to him at maximum volume through headphones?
Nah.. I don't believe in doing these things but I sure enjoy thinking about them.
Most probably this guy's biggest problem is just having too big a mouth.
Unfortunately, by the law of averages, at least a few members of his flock will indeed take him literally and though they might not be idiotic enough to take action the "buzz" is now out there and can reach into the remains of a brain of some totally pathological nutcase.
Whoever would have imagined the assassinations of the previous Presidents/Candidates/prominent beings..-

The reverend must be an Old Testament preacher. Fire and brimstone and the pits of Hell awaits all sinners but say the magical words, "I believe in Jesus", and you get a fast track to heaven.

If you believe in Jesus, you wouldn't be praying for Obama's death but Jesus' hands guiding him in doing God's work. -

Remember Pat Robertson saying something about a South American President? Why do these people of the cloth think that they can condemn individuals to death? I thought the purpose of religion is the pursuit of life. I find this quite contradictory.

Yet another week, yet another instance of how evil religion truly is.
Reply
How about this. I pray for an end to all religions. They all should be banned. The human race has nothing positive to gain from religion. It does nothing but enslave minds and create immoral, bigoted, racist, unthinking sheeple.-

Why don't you stay on subject here?

Also, I don't recall any "liberal" of any particular influence wishing anything like death on our former vp. Many wished for him to not have been in the position he had, but actively and publicly wishing for his death I don't recall.
It seems that normally it is, to use your own words, conservative "douchebags" that wish publicly for various forms of demise for people they disagree with, while demanding complete loyalty for their own leaders from everyone else.
It sure is very "Christian" of you, to think in the terms you do.......................not!

"is he any different than all you liberal douche bags who wish Cheney had been the one to get shot, or died from his heart issues."
Reply
Yes.
Some liberals may have "wished" for Cheney to die, but didn't have the sheer gall and shamelessness to announce it in on a public radio program. Chances are also good that the -vast- majority of those wishing harm on Cheney were not leaders of a religion that preaches tolerance, compassion, love, and forgiveness.
If you can't see the difference, you are being obtuse. 8)
