pray for president bush: a glimpse into a fundie freeper fantasy
(I posted this on GD Politics, but maybe this is a better place for it)

While reading DU rules, I accidentally ended up in freepville (there's a link and I was curious, okay? )

So anyway, I found myself here:

Wow. It's a glimpse into their weird little fantasy world, and it's creepy as hell--so to speak.

It helps me understand how pointless it is to try to educate them about what they're supporting. They're living in a whole different universe than we are. It would be like me trying to change the delusions of my schizophrenic friend Richard.

These people are the hard-core 25% and we waste precious time if we try to convert them to our point of view. I hearby give up on my fundie freeper brother (I'm sure he'll be relieved ) and will concentrate my education/conversion efforts on people I have some chance of success with.

5. HaHaHa!!!
Love it! You got to pray the anti-prayers; they had to be more fun than the prayers.

Sheesh those people are sheep. :rofl:

6. it's fun
when he has no answer to a logical, factual statement (I try to keep things simple so he will understand)

he will say to me "sorry if I offended you" !! Now that is funny!

Sad thing is he is a WWII Navy vet! but a fundie since the 1970's

3. Yeah, trying to teach them is like trying to teach a pig to sing
It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

7. And did you notice this part?
<<We pray, dear Lord, for Your will in the entire region, and we ask that, through the newfound freedom in the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, that the people of those countries, once in utter darkness, will find the Light in Your Son Jesus, as the Gospel is allowed to spread.>>

They think they'll get to convert those poor abused people to JAzus.

Oh. my. god. (so to speak) :yoiks:

8.  the arrogant one in Venezuela, the treasonous media and many democrats...
Righteous and Mighty Father,
I come to You tonight lifting up our brother in Christ, George W Bush. Father, with Iran's boastful threats, Israel's continual trials, the war in Iraq, the arrogant one in Venezuela, the treasonous media and many democrats, and even with his daughter about to leave on a teaching job in a foreign nation, his heart is no doubt very somber right now. Encourage him. Strengthen him. Give him what all of the good news in the world couldn't give him -- the joy that exists in your presence. And, as you have done before the first election, as you have done at 911, as you have done throughout his presidency -- make him to triumph above his enemies and the enemies of Yourself and the USA. Go with him Lord, and go with us. Protect us all. We praise Your name. In Jesus' name I pray these things, Amen.
