The Bible says you have to pray for your enemies.

That’s a hard thing to do.

Franklin is a much better Christian than I am.

King David praying for his enemies:

"Lord, tear open the sky and come down.
Touch the mountains so they will smoke.
Send the lightning and scatter my enemies.
Shoot your arrows and force them away.
Reach down from above.
Save me and rescue me out of this sea of enemies,
from these foreigners.
They are liars;
they are dishonest."
Psalm 144:5-8

"Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”"
1 Samuel 23: 2-4

..Just sayin

"Turn the other cheek" doesn't mean let someone come in your house and kill and rape your family. Different ballgame. A very misconstrued bible lesson
