With Christians Like This...

This disgusting news from Southern California offers even more evidence of the anger which is so rife these days. It also provides a good reason to stay away from Church. If this is really the Christians way, who’d want to join up?

Baptist Pastor Says He Prayed Murtha to Death

Southern Baptist Pastor Wiley Drake of Buena Park sent out an email Monday night, saying that perhaps his prayers had been answered with the death of Rep. John Murtha yesterday.

“Maybe God took him out,” Drake wrote. “Maybe God answered our imprecatory prayer that we prayed every 30 days.” …

“It’s not distasteful to pray the word of God and include somebody’s name,” he said. “I didn’t celebrate his death. I said maybe it was God’s answer to our imprecatory prayer.”

One good thing: the President of the Southern Baptist Convention has roundly criticized Drake for his “unbiblical” position. But it’s all pretty sick, if you ask me.
