Seems kind of unchristian to pray for someone to be condemned to prison.
But hey, I'm a filthy atheist, what do I know.

Agnostic's the way to go, imo. I'll ask for forgiveness on my deathbed just-in-case.

I'm actually a militant solipsist, but I hate explaining what that means, so I just go with atheist. It's pretty much the same thing to you figments, anyway.

All righty, time to channel Rawlins/Kirk/Morren/anyone with a brain and say that it'd be swell if you guys could remember that the story here is that someone died. Tout your jaded theology elsewhere, please.

Well Chad, did you pray for Mr. Parks to be incarcerated for 20 years?
If not, are you going to stand in for him so Jesus doesn't strike you down?

Jesus is going on strike?
What'd I miss?
I do wish we took drunk driving as seriously as waving a weapon around, but I gotta side with Pavel on the "vengeance via prayer" stance. "... and God bless Mommy and Daddy and smite all our foes" just isn't good copy.

It sounded to me like she was just wishing for our judicial system to work as it's intended.
