Senator David Purdue of Georgia, USA, was recorded making a joke about President Obama. He said,
I think we should pray for Barack Obama, but I think we need to be very specific about how we pray. We should pray like Psalm 109:8 says. It says, “Let his days be few. And let another have his office.”
Do you know why he was so keen to be "very specific" when it came to quoting the bible? Because he knew what was coming next - and he knew it wasn't very nice. Here is the part of the prayer that Senator Purdue didn't want you to hear:
Let his days be few. And let another have his office. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

What Senator Purdue tried to pass off as a joke about the President Obama's retirement was actually a prayer calling for the death of the president and the ruination of his wife and children!
Is it any wonder that Christians are famous for the way in which they "cherry-pick" the good bits from their bible, completely ignore all the bad bits - and then have the cheek to declare that they hold the high moral ground.
