Psalm 109:8 ‘Let His Days Be Few’

An anti-Obama bumper-sticker slogan which seems to urge people to pray for an end to the President’s days (in office?).

“There’s a hilarious new meme in the wingnut sectors of the internet,” Gawker announced:

Posters to various message boards tell stories of seeing bumper stickers with the message “Pray for Obama – Psalm 109:8” on the highway, only to look up the verse and find, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” …

Anyway, now it’s a real thing: CafePress is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers, the Christian Science Monitor is wondering whether it’s “funny or sinister” to pray for Obama’s death, and Rachel Maddow referenced it last night on her show.

Cut it out. There's no power in the Super Religion Book. It's a book. No more no less.

Start at verse 7 and you find "When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him"

The Bible is a wonderful tool.

Almost anything can be rationalized by selective cherry picking the parts you like.

Even by child molesting ministers.

Ignore the rest.
