Pastor prays cancer, lupus, brain tumors, pancreatic cancer on his adversaries

A defiant Rodney McGill prayed for affliction upon his adversaries prior to his sentencing in Martin County Circuit Court, and turned his back on Judge Sherwood Bauer, Jr., as he was handed a 20-year prison term for his part in fraudulently obtaining some $1 million in real estate loans.

“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, for every witness called against me I pray cancer in their lives, lupus, brain tumor, pancreatic cancer,” McGill intoned at his counsel table prior to the start of the hearing Tuesday.

Who does he blame for the fraudulent loans? I believe Jesus would want him to repay them not “curse” those who want to bring him to justice. To echo a BonJovi song: “he gives love (Jesus) a bad name.”

Looks like he is a consistent guy: a civil fraud and a religioius one as well.

Is this practice of Imprecatory prayer spreading among Evangelicals? I haven’t heard of it in any other faith group.

MIT,

I sure hope not. I would never pray bad on anyone.

All I can do is echo the words of the great Buzz Lightyear:

Mr. McGill, “You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.”
