Perhaps you should think about adopting - adopting a terrorist, that is.
Yes, a terrorist.
Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer is a Christian site that wants you to, well, adopt terrorists and pray for them.
According to the site's homepage:
The site includes a database of FBI most wanted terrorists, as well as some other notorious faces like Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah (adopted by six people) and Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (adopted by five people), and offers ways to pray for them. Osama bin Laden has adopted by 17 people.
Where is the Christian response to terrorism? If the struggle against violence done in the name of Islam is primarily spiritual, then defeating it requires a spiritual response.
The site also suggests some prayers. For example, "Father, lead Osama Bin Laden to repent for rejecting Jesus and declaring war on your children.” And, “Jesus, confront and overwhelm Ismail Haniyeh with his shameful deeds and sinful nature till he becomes desperate for righteousness from you.”
The people on this list are responsible for some of the most heinous crimes in recent years. And the FBI and CIA have been unable to capture bin Laden, so maybe praying that he has a change of heart could be the next step. Or, as Arnaud Amalric famously said during the Crusades, "Kill them all. For the Lord knows them that are His."
Is that where the famous mercenaries' code of "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" came from?
ReplyDeleteThat's the rumor. Arnaud is the first recorded person to have said something to that effect - according to Wikipedia. Take that for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteBut Yehudit and Yael had so much more fun with the terrorists... clog their arteries with whole-fat dairy products and then shishkebob 'em. Got milk?
