Rational debates with Christians usually end in one of two ways: 1) it’s just a leap of faith or 2) You have to look at the outcomes. Mmmm outcomes like 9/11? the Middle East? Northern Ireland? How about the suggestion that the president be assassinated?
The following is from a posting on the Daily Kos. I urge you to use the link and read the whole posting.
We’ve seen a lot of comment about a new twist on the right, a whole campaign (t- shirts, bumper stickers, e-mails and more) all built on the biblical passage in Psalms 109 which says in part:
May his days be few;
may another seize his position.
May his children be orphans,
and his wife a widow.Many have pointed out that this campaign seems to imply the urgent need to eliminate President Barack Obama at the earliest opportunity by any means necessary, (you can figure out the rest).
But what is Psalms 109 really about?

This is an interesting Psalm. I suggest reading the entire Psalm at the Skeptic’s Bible:

Good stuff about how we should treat our enemies. Talk about going old testament!
