Theocrats to Pray for McCain's Death
http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/9/3/11483/34706


The more theocratic elements of the Religious Right have a disturbing habit, (more like a practice) of invoking "imprecatory prayer" -- a call for God to literally pour his wrath down on those they consider to be his enemies.
The most recent target of theoractic imprecations is none other than Republican presidential candidate John McCain. They hope that an act of God will make Sarah Palin president.

1. I remember they prayed for torrential rains for Obama's acceptance speech
Sometimes the "prayers" of these monsters are answered with a resounding "NO."

3. No lessons learned from praying for torrential rain during Obama's speech in Denver, then.

4. So if McCain drops dead between November and January....
....will they feel bad when it has no impact on President Obama's administration and they prayed someone dead for no good reason?

For oh so many reasons.

"Any evil act will come back to you 12-fold". Although I'm more of a Buddhist than anything else, I believe strongly in this Wiccan statement. Praying for John McCain's death will cause them more trouble than they know, whether from the laws of God, karma, nature, whatever.

7. They need to study up on the Threefold Law...
...and the Law of Attraction, too, while they're at it.

You bring this kind of stuff into your psyche, and it gains power in YOUR life, first and foremost. Praying for someone else's death is almost unimaginably bad. The people doing this must be just insanely toxic.
