How did I not hear about this?

Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal is under fire after asking Republican House members to pray for President Barack Obama’s death. O’Neal made the request via an email he forwarded to GOP colleagues in the House. In an email sent in December, O’Neal asked his fellow Republicans to pray Psalm 109, which contains the following lines: Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Hi. I’m treason, have we met? In the process of being a moralizing force Jesus should have slipped a note to this guy explaining the elementary and obvious fact that calling for the death of your political opponents is wrong.

Kinda makes you wonder how many other Christians, who wonder how morality is possible without faith, are praying for the death of Obama, doesn’t it?

The relevant verse from Psalm 109 is considered a prayer for vengeance, a prayer for the death of a leader. The most damning part of the prayer is lines 7-12: ‘When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.’

Tell me again how there’s naught but beauty in the bible.
