Stay classy Cleveland

Well the Astrodome is empty. Can we put these people in there along with the people who say/said Bush/Cheney are Nazis and pit them in a giant cage killer bunny deathmatch?

Wow! That's somewhat like the old D'n'D planescape faction the Sign of One, who used to sit in rooms wishing people out of existence.

Surely making a prayer like that is a good way to get yourself a ticket to the Pit if you believe in that stuff?

Agreed I think that violates Jesus 1K's rules on both and RAW and RAI level.

Mentalists. Mentalists the lot of them.

That strikes me as being rather creepy.

*shivers* Creepy..

I remember seeing on the news, a "minister" at a rally after the previous US presidential election making similar comments about the evil G.W. Bush for "stealing" the presidency.

There are always political hacks from every side trying to co-opt various religious groups into their cause with bullsh!t like this.

Those that buy into it are the few folks at the fringe.

Once again the freedom of speech has smoked out the dregs. Must help the Secret Services job-easier to track the nutballs.

While I think its rather ridiculous, taken out of context the verse gives no life threats or even implies them. Interesting how the media uses the Bible in context when it suits them.

To point though, christian conservatives are frightening. Watch the movie Jesus Camp and shake in your boots.

Have you considered that perhaps that the media isn't the only one taking it out of context? Perhaps these Christians are taking it 'out of context' as well? Or perhaps they actually heard them say, or pray, for Obama's death and that they are explaining both what has been heard and what has been said? The intrepretation of the shirt may have been told to the reporter by one of the people, not just the reporter jumping to conclusions.

Protip: many in the media are Christians as well so setting it up as something as simple as media versus Christians doesn't make a lot of sense.

Agreed, my point was that you hardly ever seen a bible verse with surrounding verses shown unless its to make the bible look like a handbook for religious war. Anyway, thats way off topic. Sorry for brining it up.
