A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.

Pastor Steven Anderson stood by his sermon in an interview with MyFOXPhoenix, which reports that the pastor continues to encourage his parishioners to join him in praying for the president's death.

"I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," he told MyFOXPhoenix on Sunday. He called his message "spiritual warfare" and said he does not condone killing.

Oh please have you never heard of the conversion of Saul? He was struck by God and became some small time preacher by the name of Paul -—— perhaps you have read a bit by him?

Who in Biblical times was as evil as Obama and been converted?

A young man named "Saul".

Saul (AKA Paul) was a well-educated religious zealot. Although he committed evil, he was not acting out of a desire to do evil. In his heart, he loved God and followed His commandments.

Then, one day, he met Jesus on the road to Damascus...

“I pray that Obama will find Christ and renounce is evil ways. “

AMEN!

Did you miss the post about Rev. Wright in #4, i.e., the phrase “Jeremiah Wright clone?” If that’s not implying racism or hate, what’s it implying?

[Clioman]

This minister and Officer “This ain’t America no more” Cheeks deserve one another.

This guy needs to be in the same padded cell as Jeremiah Wright. He is clearly a nutjob.

Ah, yes ... the oppressor who's oppressing you because he KNOWS, in his utter confidence of his own superiority in all ways, what is "Good For You".

Sorta like ...

dunno ...

Today's self-so-called "progressives"?

We’d be better off with Biden...he’s just a fool with a permanent case of hoof-in-mouth-disease, plus the media is not head over heels in love with him as they are with obama.

[The Sons of Liberty]

He’s praying for Joe Biden to be President?

As bad as Joe is, I don't think he could be worse than 0bama.

[top 2 toe red]

...said he wants the president to "melt like a snail" with salt on it.

Well...it has to be said, this guy is very imaginative with his wishes for obama's demise.

Whatever happened to praying for someone’s conversion?

Depends on what one wishes that person to "convert" to. Perhaps you mean "salvation".

Whenever you pray for someone's conversion, it means "conversion to Christ (Christianity)."

That's too white.

“He’s praying for Joe Biden to be President?”

Could Joe Biden possibly be worse than Zero? He may not be any better but I have a hard time imagining him to be worse than the “community organizer.”

Besides, Joe could be interesting entertainment as he pulls one foot out of his mouth only to put the other one in.

Call me a skeptic, but hoping/praying for this...brings another prayer to mind...

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

And the last thing we need is for Obama to become a martyr.

Yhy should anyone care about a mortal enemy of America?

Huh?!? What on earth does me doubting the probability of a 'conversion to Christ' moment for obama have to do with making him a martyr?!?
