Imprecatory Prayer - Oh Dear God, Please Let Them Die!

Wiley S. Drake, a Buena Park pastor and a former national leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, called on his followers to pray for the deaths of two leaders of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. [Los Angeles Times]

Pastor Drake is more than a little upset that Joe Conn and Jeremy Leaming of Americans United for Separation of Church and State urged

. . . the IRS on Tuesday to investigate Drake's church's nonprofit status because Drake endorsed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for president on church letterhead and during a church-affiliated Internet radio show."

It appears the Pastor Drake cannot defend his own actions so he is appealing to God for a little help.

At least he is following the second half of

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you [Matthew 5:44]

He is praying for those who persecute him. He is praying for them to die.
