Theocrats to Pray for McCain's Death

[pnorman]

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. Last year, for example, Rev. Wiley Drake, then a Second Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention made news when he called on his followers to pray for God to smite members of the staff of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. (Drake was angry that the organization had reported Drake to the IRS for endorsing Mike Huckabee on church stationary, among other apparent abuses of his church's 501(c))(3) tax-exemption.)

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.

4. it would be so great if people who prayed for the deaths of other people were just

struck dead themselves. Something with a distinctive flair, like instantaneous, fatally explosive diarrhea. Anytime someone's bowels suddenly emptied in explosive fashion and they dropped dead, bystanders would gather around as they were being zipped into a rubber bag and mutter among themselves, "Must have been praying for somebody to die. No one else dies like that."
