You said — “pray for obama threads on Free Republic!!!”

Well, take a look at what it says there...

—

FREE REPUBLIC RULES PROHIBIT DEBATE ON THREADS IN THE RELIGION FORUM MARKED “PRAYER”. PLEASE RESPECT. THESE RULES.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO ARGUE THE MERITS OF PRAYING FOR OBAMA, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR SUCH COMES FROM SCRIPTURE. SPECIFICALLY...

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for ALL MEN; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ( Matthew 5:44)

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,(Luke 6:27)

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.(Luke 6:25)

This is quite commendable and according to the Bible..., and should be acceptable to all, except, of course, the stark raving mad lunatic atheists... LOL...
