Mikey Weinstein threatened by a "good Christian." [View all]

Hopefully it only stays as praying for Weinstein's death.

USAFA Classmate Threatens Imprecatory Prayer if Mikey Weinstein Attends Class Reunion

Next week, Mikey Weinstein, the founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), will be attending the 25th reunion of his class at the Air Force Academy. Apparently, some of his "Spirit-filled born again Christian" classmates have a problem with this, threatening imprecatory prayers to put the Psalm 109 whammy on him if he shows up.

Here's the email Mikey got from one of his "Spirit-filled born again Christian" classmates the other day. (I've inserted asterisks with explanations below for a few things this guy is refers to in his "Spirit-filled" email.)

Good evening Michael Weinstein. I am a classmate of yours from the USAF Academy Class of 1977. I have written to you before. I am a Spirit-filled born again Christian. My wife is a spirit-filled born again Christian and my children are as well. I came to the Lord during my years as a cadet at the Academy. A number of your classmates have asked me to convey a simple message to you. It is a two part message. First, we ask you to reconsider coming to our 35th reunion next week. Yes, we found out you are coming. And second we ask you to believe in and fear the Power of Prayer if you refuse to reconsider.
