And they'll know we are Christians by our love.


There's a little scriptural joke going around the internets. A prayer for Obama. You can by it on Bumper Stickers, mugs, Jammies for baby, etc. It says Prayer for Obama" Psalm 109:8. Here is the text of Psalm 109:8 : " Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Okay... a little disturbing, but maybe just Wingnut-ese for hoping Obama is limited to one term. Here are the next few verses though:

9 Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:
neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off;
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

So are the good Christians who sport these stickers and tee-shirts calling for Obama's death? Is this, in essence, a fatwah against the President, or are they merely using the Lord's name in vain?

  1. Both. And they might as well start slathering the barbeque sauce on their backs, if you ask me.

  2. They are fake Christians......acting and saying the opposite of the teachings of Jesus, you can call the anti-Christs. Because that's what the Bible, ya know, the book they say that they cherish, says. Everything that Christ taught, lived and preached, these people who dare call themselves Christian do the exact opposite.
    Sorry, I repeated myself. But they piss me off to no end.........
