"Give thanks for justice done in Iraq regarding Saddam Hussein...Pray for peace and stability for the people of Iraq...As President Bush has met with his National Security team, give thanks for progress made...Pray for wisdom as he determines new strategies regarding our effort in Iraq."

====

Give thanks that there was an execution? Give thanks for the progress made in Iraq? This group of fundies-with-blinders-on are indeed the last holdouts of Bush's coterie.

And they're plum delusional.

[Benhurst]

1. What sick bastards they are. NT

[WinstonChurchill]

2. I Hear They A Making A Big Deal That Saddam's Bowels Moved After Hanging

People usually lose control of their bladders, too.

Real nice people.

[Patchuli]

3. I bet God won't accept their "thanks"

for an execution. eeeewwwwwuuuu...they are GHOULS!!

[babylonsister]

4. Idjits. We don't need new strategies unless it's to figure the most

expeditious way to get everyone out. :grr: :grr:

[Ishoutandscream2]

5. Yes, Jesus is smiling. He's for the death penalty

He's so happy about Saddam's execution. How crazy are these people?!!

[ixion]

6. WWJH

who would Jesus hang?

What a bunch of sick puppies.

[brazos121200]

7. Visited a friend's church today and the pastor

said that Saddam's execution was "God's will". Then he asked the congregation to pray for members of the cabinet and also to pray for Alberto Gonzalez as he "interprets God's will regarding treatment of detainees". It was hard for me to believe I was hearing this but there it was.

[Bluebear]

9. belated welcome to DU, brazos

:hi:

[brazos121200]

11. Thanks.

[Union Thug]

16. Sorry, but this shit is pathological. The pastor should be hauled away

in a straight jacket. Fucking dimwitted, psychopathic buffoons...

[Island Blue]

24. I would have got up

and walked out.

[specimenfred1984]

35. Welcome to DU!

I posted something about this yesterday, how "GOP churches" would be praising this today and I got blasted by a few posters who think "GOP churches" don't exist.

Was the friend's church predominantly a repub church?

[brazos121200]

43. I think just about all southern baptist churches are GOP

churches by definition. Actually, this church is not bad unless the preacher starts waxing eloquently about politics, abortion, or evolution, then I start wincing. Of course, whenever election time rolls around the "questionnaires" come out (these are called "election guides"), where all the Republican candidates have answered all the questions the "right" way and almost none of the Democratic candidates even respond to the questions at all, so they are answered for them by the publishers.

[ContraBass Black]

46. I might walk at hearing that one.

Head high, down the center aisle.

[The Doctor.]

53. Without hesitation...

I would stand up, walk to the middle of the aisle, and say, "May Christ forgive you." to the 'pastor' before walking the hell out.

I'd probably even spit right in the aisle.

We should never put up with this shit. Call on all Christians to actually behave like Christians... anything else is abominable.

I think I'll start attending mass at some fundie churches just so I can do that.

[Oleladylib]

54. I would have walked OUT

[MikeNearMcChord]

8. Memo to the Presidential Prayer Team

From Ezekiel 33:11(Old Testament too!)
11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'

[kentuck]

10. That was his new strategy..

execute Saddam and see what happens...

[Union Thug]

12. half-informed fantasy worlders. Disregard anything that they publish

as the wishful fairytales of sanctimonious pinheads.

[Initech]

13. I really did use to think this was a joke organization.

But when I actually went to the site, I saw these people were serious. After watching Jesus Camp... :scared:

[jaysunb]

14. sick bastards...

:evilfrown:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

15. They even have a sticker for members to place on their cars.

I passed one of these on the interstate a couple of years ago. I hope they saw my "F the President" sticker that I had on at the time.

[libnnc]

23. I used to sub at a high school...

And every day I worked there, I noticed a car in the parking lot (always parked in the visitors spot so I think it belonged to a sub too) covered--literally with those stickers. One in every window. I used to hope I didn't have to encounter the car's owner in the teacher's lounge.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

25. This sub sure was a PROUD member.

Good luck with you teaching career libnc.
I see you are from WS too. Donnie Martin country. I'm not a fan of his since he required every teacher to attend a "gays can change" meeting.

[libnnc]

27. Donnie Martin is one of the reasons I won't seek

a full time career in teaching here in W-S/Forsyth County.

I won't shove myself back in the closet for anyone.

I'm shooting for higher-ed. Getting my MA in US History at UNCG.

Thanks for the luck :hi:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

28. I don't blame you.

The closet stinks.
Say, do you have Dr. Jerry Pubantz for anything? He was my history professor at Salem (now at UNG-G) and I miss him so much.

[libnnc]

29. That name isn't familiar.

I know most everyone in the History dept (I got my BA in History at UNCG too) and I've never run across him.

[MN ChimpH8R]

17. These morans

should be hosed down with scalding horse urine, then get led off to the place with soft walls where the nuts hunt the squirrels.
:crazy: :banghead:

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. The culture of death

can no longer hide their corruption.

[Cha]

19. They're all a bunch of congenital

Idiots with bush and his creepy spouse leading the charge.

Using "prayer" to cover their crimes against humanity.

How many Iraqis has bush killed? And how many American Soldiers has he killed?

[Raksha]

21. I think we know now why Saddam "had" to be executed this weekend.

It was to get the news of the 3000 American dead off the front page, at least temporarily. Bush knew the figure would reach the 3000 mark by this weekend, and so did everyone else.

Re >>How many Iraqis has bush killed? And how many American Soldiers has he killed?<<

[Cha]

22. Yes, thank

you, Raksha.

[liberal N proud]

20. These people make me ask, how can they claim to be Christain?

Yesterday there was a post asking how one could be pro choice and against the death penalty.
These people are the ultimate hypocrites.

[opihimoimoi]

26. They are members of a CULT that got suckered into the Bush Fold...

Till death they will support Bush

Nothing will faze them....not even Facts/Evidence/Proof....

They have been Fantasized....believing Fantasy is real/true...

[Left Is Write]

30. No! Good grief, no matter how one felt about Saddam Hussein -

it doesn't strike me as EVER appropriate to give "thanks" for brutal death.

[specimenfred1984]

32. What is your problem?

Bush said it, many repukes believe it and live by it.

If you think they don't, you're delusional too.

[Left Is Write]

34. OK. I think I will celebrate the New Year by adding to my ignore list.

I have no idea what's up with you, but you seem to dislike me quite a bit. Consider this your holiday gift. 'Bye!

[specimenfred1984]

36. There is a God!

bye-bye.

[specimenfred1984]

40. Well here they are doing exactly that

[az chela]

48. Well I am going to puke now!!!!!!!!

Ignorant bastards!!!!!!
I spit on all of them

[etherealtruth]

44. I can't imagine it either

What kind of people would say prayers of thanks for his execution? We both know the answer to that question.

[AlphaCentauri]

31. Saddam's execution "God's gift to iraqis", scary visions

It's scary when people starts using Gods name to take away other's lives.

-snip..
"In his Friday sermon, a mosque preacher in the Shi'ite holy city of Najaf called Saddam's execution "God's gift to Iraqis."

"Oh, God, you know what Saddam has done! He killed millions of Iraqis in prisons, in wars with neighboring countries and he is responsible for mass graves. Oh God, we ask you to take revenge on Saddam," said Sheik Sadralddin al-Qubanji, a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, known as SCIRI, the dominant party in Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's coalition."

[OneBlueSky]

33. yeah . . . Jesus would LOVE that sentiment . . .

if they were true Christians, they'd be praying for Saddam's soul and for the people who murdered him . . .

[stevedeshazer]

37. These people are truly insane.

I don't even know where to begin to explain how mentally ill they are.

[Disturbed]

39. "God's Will" can justify any atrocities.

God's Will is a concept that has sanctioned a large variety of carnage over the centuries.

I have come the loath that phrase.

[Oleladylib]

55. it's a copout phrase.

[krabigirl]

38. That is totally sick!

I can't believe this website.

And what about the "pray the vote" link? Is this sponsored by a particular church or tax-exempt faith institution? I really want to see places like this pay taxes, since they are so involved with convincing people to vote their way.

[LeftishBrit]

41. Robert Burns said it all, over 200 years ago

On Thanksgiving For A National Victory


Ye hypocrites! are these your pranks?
To murder men, and give God thanks?
Desist for shame! Proceed no further:
God won't accept your thanks for Murther.

[Bluebear]

42. :bravo:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

45. They probably grieved for Pinochet

:eyes:

[Megahurtz]

47. Uaaalllggghhhh....

[malaise]

49. Is Haggart still one of the boys?

Fuck Bush and his prayer team.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

50. Disgusting.

[sakabatou]

51. I don't know, but

They seem to be like to Romans in the Coliseum.

[BR_Parkway]

52. all 3 versions of the 10 commandments say "Thou shalt not kill" eom

[ikojo]

56. I wonder how many of their kids are in Iraq

FIGHTING not proselytizing.
