OK, so I have come to the point with om that as a Christian, I feel like I have to pray against them, and be totally justified in doing so. There are some Psalms called imprecatory Psalms (5, 10, 17, 35, 58, 59, 69, 70, 79, 83, 109, 129, 137, 140) in which believers pray against their enemies, especially when they have profited by doing evil things.

Evil? Ole Miss? Well, they tend to prop themselves up as being the holiest of Christians while seemingly looking the other way about using unsavory practices to recruit (including money, sex, and academic fraud, if all that is true, which at this point, seems pretty undeniable) which makes them the biggest hypocrites around, very Pharisaical.

And so I find myself to actually pray for their downfall, if they truly are cheating the way everybody expects they are.

Of course, there is one big problem with this. If you pray in an imprecatory manner, you better make sure your shoes are squeaky clean. Otherwise, you are praying against yourself.

OK, I will stop my sermon now. Continue on.
