Why does everyone feel compelled to pray for this character? Lots of people get sick: good people, bad people and really horrible people. Bad things happen to bad people. Bad things happen to good people. Why are we praying for Harry Reid? Should we pray for him if his son loses his job? If his tax refund gets denied? If his car breaks down on the road? I'm OK to let the chips fall where they may. Let God take care of him without my prayers.

Why are we praying for Harry Reid?

I think its 'cause Jesus wanted us to. Love your enemy...forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and all that sort of stuff. If you are not a Christian you probably don't understand.

I think about 90% of freepers pray for whoever has a bad thing happen. That is what freepers do. Might as well give it up.

Besides, you can say you pray even if you don't. That way you don't get lectured

Or as another alternative, you can pray sort of a light prayer.

BTW I hate this political take no prisoner thing going on on FR. Reid is one of us whether we agree with him or not.
