I have to say that I really enjoy your religion as an atheist and even feel upset myself when I see people who cheapen the name of a great religion.
You have no idea what, if any religion, I practice. But I will clarify that my original remark about being disgusted meant that I am disgusted by the hypocrisy and arrogance of someone claiming to follow Jesus while wishing someone dead.

Ack! So sorry!



I just thought so because you said that and it is usually Christians who say these things.

Here is where the true culprit ($$$$) comes in

Psalm 109.8 T-shirts - CafePress

but they also were anti Bush as well:

Cheney T-shirts - CafePress

Scroll down and check out all of these differnt opposing view points one can order for their t shirt.


See, it is all about CASH. And having people publicize this gets them even more money.

The selective outrage is breath taking.

I think you are projecting your hatred of the right wing into this. Someone found a line that could have political interpretations (let another take office) within a psalm and is using it in a way that was reflective of Bush1:20:09 bumper sticker to make some cash.
You are very generous with your assertion that people who are hopping mad,wrap themselves in the flag and carry the cross are going to just see that ONE line removed from it's context of the entire psalm.

Since Fox News does have a habit of doing such things with quotes of people out of the full context and make 'news' of it, well, then I guess I can see your logic.

But all in all, it is obviously aimed at the cash from the sort of folks that would bury their noses in the psalm in it's entirety.

Even if I didn't like Bush, I never wanted him to get violently murdered.

please explain to me where in that verse it says he will be murdered?

unless you are putting words into the verse that are not there, I just dont see it.

It says something about him not existing anymore and his wife being a widow and his children orphans. Fine, they want him to not be alive. Either way, these people want him dead. Even if I hated Bush I never had the audacity to say such a thing.

Why so preoccupied with death tonight? You had another thread claiming O'Reilly was pushing for Pelosi to be killed.

Newsflash: people can disagree with another's policies and not want them to be killed.

I do remember O'Reilly kind of de facto saying a certain Dr. Tiller should die and look what happened...

What does "kind of defacto saying" mean?

Do you think T shirts with the Psalm should be outlawed because some mentally deranged person might try to kill?
Son of Sam thought a dog was telling him to kill people. Should dogs be outlawed because of some nut?
