Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Klingenschmitt Prays for Death of Weinstein, Lynn:
When the prayer of The Holy Hand Grenade ceases to be a joke, I think that's about time to say enough.
"One-Minute Prayer: Let us pray. Almighty God, today we pray imprecatory prayers from Psalm 109 against the enemies of religious liberty, including Barry Lynn and Mikey Weinstein, who issued press releases this week attacking me personally. God, do not remain silent, for wicked men surround us and tell lies about us. We bless them, but they curse us. Therefore find them guilty, not me. Let their days be few, and replace them with Godly people. Plunder their fields, and seize their assets. Cut off their descendants, and remember their sins, in Jesus' name. Amen."And people wonder why I might never set foot in a church ever again...

It's our local Metropolitan Community Church (http://www.mccchurch.org) -- and the understanding of god there is much more like the loving, forgiving Rabbi Yeshua ben Joseph than this hate-filled god that some folks seem to have nowadays. (If you would like to see the website for the church I visit, go to http://www.mccsj.org -- where you will find two articles that I wrote under their "weekly reflections.")
