I agree with how you feel about this. I too am sick at heart. But we are not called to curse those who are against Him, for vengance is up to God, not us. Many times in scripture we are commanded not to curse. So I don't think God will forgive you for saying it, unless you first realize that is not what He commands us to do. Instead, we are to pray for these people, that they see God and realize what they are doing so very wrong.

Regardless of the outcome, and if they continue in this vile act, those in Christ MUST remember that God is sovereign and He is in control and this will ultimately work to glorify Him although it may not be the way we want it to. But His ways are higher than ours, His thoughts higher than ours. That is our hope, that is our peace.

Very nice comments, which I agree with. BUT, God also demands that we OPPOSE EVIL at every turn. He does not want us to sit back and be helpless in the face of EVIL.
