Geeez, I really can't wrap my mind around that. I hardly think Jesus sat around with the disciples praying for bad weather or hard luck on those that persecuted him. He simply kept on loving, no matter what, no matter when, who, or where, he only continued to love. It seems so sad to me that Christians today will do silly things like this and be fully aware that the media may pick up on it and continue to do it. They believe in their hearts that they are doing the right thing.
