I'm thinking you can think oit , but isn't illegal to verbalize what might be constur=ed as a threat to the President? I don't think I would be attending his services no matter how much I dislike the current admin.

This person is not a true Christian. He is doing the work of Satan. I have said a prayer for HIS soul that his heart will be changed and he will be brought back into love and compassion for his fellow man and that he will work for the good of America by loving his neighbor as himself - as he is commanded to do so by the scriptures.
Not only is he blatantly violating the scriptures and his creed as a Christian, he is violating the very teachings and examples of Christ himself.
The Romans were commiting atrocities against their Jewish wards, yet Christ never condemned Ceasar to hell - though he could have easily done so.
This person is lost and a very sad example of the evil fruits of hatred.
Baptists are supposed to be Christians, right? It doesn't seem morally right for a Christian to will the death of another human being. Just a little over the top, there. I'm no admirer or fan of Obama's either. I think we ought to live in civil society, however, and treat each other civlily. That isn't civil.

and you, Alsatian, have always adhered to and lived those standards of civility on this board. I can't think of any of the old-time regulars who haven't snapped at least once, except for you.

I reflect the notion that this man is not a true Christian. Its sick. I disagree with just about everything Obama stands for. I even question his motive and tactics, but would never wish or hope for harm to come to him. Chock this preacher in with the loon crowd. Both sides have equal loons.

I wouldn't go so far as TexasGulf3 and suggest that this guy isn't really a Christian. But at the very least he's extremely misguided and reflecting things that aren't true Christian principles in the least. Not to mention the fact that he's giving us Baptists a bad name.
No, I am not surprised in the least that it has come to this... but not because some Baptist minister is praying that the president die. I'm not surprised because of the state of politics in general. As a society, we've lost civility and respect, and there's something sad about that. This guy isn't the first Baptist preacher to pray for Obama's death, and I'm sure he won't be the last. We saw people similarly hoping that Bush would die when he was in office, too.
I'm just glad I don't sit under the sermons of men like this.
