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?
