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.
