Freepers are calling for a 2008 Election prayer and fasting vigil
"Re-announcing the prayer and fasting vigil for the elections. Looking for prayer warriors for Oct 25, Oct 26, Nov 1, or Nov 2. Pick one day, or do all four."

Mama always said stupid is as stupid does.

5. They should pray and fast all 24 hours of November 4. God rewards sacrifice.
Spread the word. "If you don't pray and fast all day, without cease, on November 4th, God has said he will install Obama. If you love baby Jesus, do not risk it! Do not go out on November 4th! Stay home and pray, all day. God, American, and guns depend on it!"

7. This instantly reminded me of Carlin
"Can't we silence these Christian athletes who thank Jesus whenever they win and never mention his name when they lose? You never hear them say, 'Jesus made me drop the ball,' or, 'The Good Lord tripped me up behind the line of scrimmage.' According to these Christian athletes, Jesus is undefeated. Meanwhile, a lot of these Holy assholes are in sixth place. Maybe it's one of those miracles we hear so much about."

This just popped into my head thinking of political prayer warriors.

12. I Pray that they will accept God's will. God expects them to be
cheerful givers, and love their neighbors as themselves. Apostle Paul, who taught the lessons of Jesus, asked them to reach out and respect all of God's children, so they must put away their selfish ways, and grow in the light of love.It is His way and His word.


How can they disobey the teachings of the Bible?

I will send good thoughts for their lives, and pray they will work with us as equals, as partners, as friends.
