Let's continue to pray for America and her people!
“The Bible is promoted as the loving word of God, yet it's filled with murder, hate, intolerance, inhuman slaughter, slavery, torture, homophobia, and discrimination. The Bible is a bully-book. It demands that you follow the authors' barbaric laws of life and living or burn in hell. If you decide to submit to the bully, he rewards you with everlasting life. If not, you burn in hell. It's pretty straightforward. It's no different than the bully at school who steals your money and promises you protection, or the mobster who threatens to vandalize your store unless you pay him part of the profits. The Bible is a much bigger bully than both because at least the school bully and street thug don't require that you worship them as they terrorize you. The beasts that wrote the Bible command you to fall to your knees and proclaim your love and devotion to a god that will gladly slaughter you if you don't. It's sick and perverse, but you won't hear much about this on Sunday morning. Religious leaders prefer to focus on the loving side of the Bible.”

No doubt that the words you just read are blasphemous. It is easy to pray for the friendly and the kind lost person, but it can be tough to pray for those who have the aforementioned beliefs and philosophies. The celebrated thinkers and so called intellects need to be prayed for. The Bible says of God, "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." (1Timothy 2:4-6) God sent his Son for the sinners. At one time we who are redeemed were dead in our trespasses and sins just as much as those who are dead in their trespasses and sins at this very moment. I am quite certain that someone prayed for you I certainly know that someone prayed for me. Is it too much to ask ourselves to pray for Mr. Siebold and others like him? No.
May God help us to see the lost as he see the lost. May God help us to have love and compassion for their lost souls.
