Prevent war with day of prayer


       A few months ago I was reading everywhere about the AMAZING POWER

    OF PRAYER.  It can even KILL GERMS FAST !

        We can ,of course, pray for PEACE. But since that always comes

    eventually anyway , we can never be too sure about the efficacy of

    our metaphysical intervention.

        In order to be sure of its power - prayer- we must pray for something

    concrete and dramatic.

        I suggest that next Sunday be declared a National Day of Prayer for

    the Death of Saddam Hussein . Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Moslems -

    all united in one voice begging the Almighty to take Saddam from our

    midst.

           If that fails then clearly another war is inevitable. But there

    is still another way out:

          During the Vietnam War I often heard chaplains tell soldiers :

      " There are no atheists in foxholes ! "

      Back then I concluded : Very well, let us all become atheists and the

    world will be at peace.
