Now do you get it when someone like Nancy says she prays for Trump? Pray to Satan to kill him maybe. They don’t pray to our God in Heaven. They pray to their god on earth. The One eye club.
Oh, I certainly "get it." They aren't just content with promulgating and propagating evil, they attempt to mock the act of praying to God while doing so.
What the hell are you talking about? This is a hateful woman, who is praying to her twisted concept of a god, praying to hate more. Not just right-learning whiteys, but left-leaning whiteys, too. She is praying to be free of the burden of seeing any chance at the best in white people, to be unencumbered to hate without limit. She want this "god" to create special exemptions for her to be able to use scripture but to exempt whiteys from all mercy.
So are you really going to make me drag this out, or can you just find the decency and honor to simply say "I'm sorry. My bad on this one today."
Hey, we've all been there, fren. I know you have a good heart. But it appears you were mistaken, and rashly tried to impugn folks here for doing exactly what you neglected to do. I can pretty clearly back up *everything" in my statement, "This is a hateful woman, who is praying to her twisted concept of a god, praying to hate more. Not just right-learning whiteys, but left-leaning whiteys, too."... and you can keep backtracking from yours.
But a simple "Hey guys, my bad. Still frens? Yay." or something to that effect would be the decent call here.
I promise you, I'm not going to chalk it up as a win for me here on my beloved "Internet Forum Win Totals" chalkboard on the wall right here ↗. Instead, we can all chalk this up for a win for all of us here, on this good-timey, truth-seeking, racism-rebuking, self-effacing forum of frens. ?
The person I was replying to (who has since deleted their comment) was asking if you/we had read all of the photos of the "devotional" in question, to get "context" as if it isn't abundantly clear that the author's thoughts are anything but biblical or godly. I quoted that because the author's own words give more than ample context to what lies in their heart. They are filled with hatred and poison whatever good may be in the rest of the book, and the person who deleted their comment(s) is evidently blind to it, which, if they read this, I would encourage them to do some soul-searching.
If you read more than the highlighted paragraph you'll see that the writer is speaking about the very people WE call racist. The progressive, elitist, far left, democrat type who pat their own backs while treating people of color as imbeciles and criminals.
Still wrong to hate anyone...but know the author's intent before reacting.
I don't have the book but searched around and found 3 reviews from people who had read and condemned it after reading this passage. Seems like the wording promotes hatred, regardless of who it was aimed at. If not, it is irresponsible to suggest: "Teach me to hate white people" is pretty unambiguous, regardless of the context, and unfit for a Christian devotional. Do you have the book?
No, I don't have the book. I was just pointing out that the writer goes beyond that initial statement to define which white people she feels should be hated, and it's not all white people. (If she were truly honest she'd have included blacks who are racist to other blacks, as well.)
I am in agreement that it is irresponsible & provocative. I also agree to the tenet (of which I fall short myself) that hatred of anyone is a sin.
I do, though, understand the totality of what she was trying to say, whether in agreement or not.
I certainly hope your response is directed towards the writer and not towards me. To state that I'm able to comprehend what she is saying is not the same as endorsing it.
That kind of prayer ain't answered by God. Just sayin.
Oh, He’ll answer it all right.
They may just not like His answer.
At all.
Forever.
That’s interesting. I often pray to God to not hate liberals so much.
But that's the difference. You worship God.
They worship the devil, and simply call it whatever is convenient at the time.
Now do you get it when someone like Nancy says she prays for Trump? Pray to Satan to kill him maybe. They don’t pray to our God in Heaven. They pray to their god on earth. The One eye club.

Which is precisely how we got "Awomen".
Amen.
Wow! That is so horrifying!
Have you?
I read that article, and looked at the referenced book’s text.
What “context” did I miss? Because it just kept getting more and more hateful.
Sugar-coated venom while pretending to hold a moral high ground is still venom. I’m afraid I have to agree with BasedInFact on this one, MP.

Seriously, what they hell are you talking about?
Your turn.
Go.
Well that's quite the backtrack. Now it plainly sounds like you didn't read it. ?
Really, I'm now genuinely curious, where and how did you get your contra-evidential hot take?
Because the point is that she, wildly, does, and "prays" to hate more, and wants her hateful readers to hate more, too!
Do you still think it was us who didn't read her words?
to...?
to do what? ?
So are you really going to make me drag this out, or can you just find the decency and honor to simply say "I'm sorry. My bad on this one today."

"Lord, if it be your will, harden my heart."
There's your context.
Do you have chapter and verse for this?
It's from your own source.

Oh well, that makes it OK then: just hate that lot. Very Christian.
