Does anyone doubt that some of the "true Christians" who are---as I type this---on bended

knee earnestly praying for Trump's speedy full recovery will next spend equal time in prayer pleading for Biden's infection and death?

This sick practice actually has a name: "imprecatory prayer".

To die from this virus. Period. I wish it were over and pray every night that God have mercy upon this planet. But God sometimes teaches us the harshest of lessons and God has been tempted. It had to happen this way. This virus made the world choose between an economy and human life and the countries hardest hit chose the economy. They chose the golden calf over the love of fellow man. I hope he lives through this and becomes a better man. He and his followers are the ONLY reason this virus has spread like wildfire. The false prophet of their religion has to bleed before they realize He isn’t their messiah. Jesus became violent and angry once. It was over the hypocrisy of the churches becoming money exchanges. He threw everyone out. Here we have a man that has not only denied for his own benefits but has actively participated in and encouraged the spread. He has used the Bible as a prop for a show of violent law enforcement. His devout followers say that god has put him here personally to “save” their America. This is the only way it can happen for the flock to flee the false shepherd. I’m tired of seeing death. I pray for not only his physical health but for his soul to heal as well. Maybe he will repent and change. I hope so. From my standpoint, this is the only way any of this madness can end. It HAD to be this way.
