A call for imprecatory prayer…

that God may kick the shins of this embarrassing, lunatic, apostate, God's-Glory-Robbing tool-of Satan disgrace to all Baptists everywhere: Wiley Drake.

This repulsive creature, who should be defrocked, is calling on his church to pray for the death of the President. According to John Avalon of the Daily Beast:
Pastor Wiley Drake kicked off this Presidents’ Day Weekend with an email blast to his supporters saying “Imprecatory Prayer is now our DUTY” and announcing a daily teleconference call to advance the cause. Drake has been an enthusiastic advocate of imprecatory prayer since he announced that God answered his call with the murder of Kansas abortion clinic doctor George Tiller in church last May. “George Tiller was far greater in his atrocities than Adolf Hitler,” Drake said at the time, “so I am happy. I am glad that he is dead.” This emboldened him to add “the usurper that is in the White House … B. Hussein Obama” to the list said in his church on Sundays.
Sadly, Drake is not a complete fringe figure. He served as a second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention in ‘06 and ‘07. In ‘08, he received 47,000 votes as the vice-presidential nominee of the American Independent Party, alongside conservative activist Alan Keyes, Obama’s GOP opponent when he was elected to the Senate in 2004.
Yikes.

There is only one weapon to bring to bear against God: to rob him of his glory (i.e., curse him). Athiests can’t do it—they are impotent. Richard Dawkins has not robbed God of any glory. Only Christians can rob God of glory. Wiley Drake, in this event you have won gold.

Demonstrating that he is completely ignorant of the Baptist tradition of favoring separation of church and state, he has also prayed for God's wrath on Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. It appears that God is not listening. The prayers of a self-righteous ignoramus avail little. I hope the IRS nails his posterior.

Here he is--for those with a strong stomach
