Remember, the Lord will heap coals of fire on your enemies heads if you pray for them. I always take pleasure in picturing jerks with a pile of hot coals on their heads...

"Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him."
- Proverbs 24:17-18
"Remember, the Lord will heap coals of fire on your enemies heads if you pray for them. I always take pleasure in picturing jerks with a pile of hot coals on their heads..."
I see you missed the point of pretty much the entire New Testament, didn't you? Maybe you should go back and read the Sermon on the Mount one more time...
So does that mean you pray, then God turns up at your enemies house with a shovel and a barbeque, or what?
Throughout history, many writers have drawn some very profound messages from the Christian theology. How Mona managed to dive into it and emerge with this concept of a celestial hitman i'll never know.
That's it. I'm not worshiping YHWH because he sets my enemies on fire with burning coals. That's lame. I want a god who will kill my enemies dead. Polonium dead.
So I guess that means we have to start worshiping Putin or some other James Bond villain.
Here's from Mona's blog :
Some of you know about my troubles trying to handle my husband's recent announcement that he is now an atheist. Don't judge [him] too harshly. We all have our skeletons we try to hide. Even if the world doesn't see them, God does. And he loves us anyway.
Ooooh... changed your tack just a bit, haven't you? What about taking pleasure in seeing him with a pile of coals on his head? For 500 points, Mona, how do you spell "hypocrite"?
Finally, an example of a true, loving, forgiving Christian lady! I guess Jesus' teaching of loving your enemies went 'whooosh!' over your air-filled head, didn't it?
So, Mona is basically saying that the Lord is an entity one can invoke to perform harmful magic upon someone.
I believe this is called blasphemy.....
"Remember, the Lord will heap coals of fire on your enemies heads if you pray for them. I always take pleasure in picturing jerks with a pile of hot coals on their heads..."
This is why I always wear a crash helmet.
That passage was a metaphor concerning how to engage the conscience of an enemy: if he's thirsty, give him a drink. Such an act of kindness on your part will cause God to "heap coals on his head" - to make him think, to cause a hot blush of embarrassment at his past behavior.
Coals of fire?!
Holy fuckballs!
"I always take pleasure in picturing jerks with a pile of hot coals on their heads..."
And I take pleasure in picturing Brad Pitt, Matt Damon & Christian Bale in a menage trois but to each their own i suppose...
She never saw the video from the 1960's featuring The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, doing Fire, then...?
Find me ONE news story, anywhere, that describes someone suddenly finding themselves with hot coals on their head. Maybe god is putting them all on a list so he can do them all at once... you know, to save time.
Guys, I'm gonna call Poe on this one. My sarcasm meter just started going 'ping', and I don't think it's faulty.
That said, if this guy's for real, I weep for my fellow Christians. Stupid fundies are giving us half-decent, kind and moral Christians a bad name.
Remember, the Lord will heap coals of fire on your enemies heads if you pray for them.
Yeah, right. And I'm quite sure that "Mona" rejects Voodoo poppets as "sinful magical rituals".
Fortunately, Voodoo poppets are as useless as the magical incantations called "prayer".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
