Power of Prayer??

Yesterday, someone was telling me about a pastor from Orange County praying for death. Praying for someone's death? Doesn't that seem like an oxymoron, or at least hypocritical? Apparently, he was angry at the 200+ Congress men and women who had voted to pass the healthcare bill. In his statement, he said he hoped their children were fatherless, their wives widows.

It kind of shocks me. In my opinion, that's terrible and wrong on so many levels. You may not agree with what the government does, or how bills are passed, but that doesn't mean the people involved deserve to die. (?)
