    This letter was written in a local newspaper about the rescent lottery winner's religion... Talk about ignorance...

    Lottery winner is an instrument of Satan

    To The Daily: I read with interest James L. Evans’ column about praying for the lottery. He says he believes God doesn’t influence the outcomes of such things as lotteries and sports events.

    Maybe so or maybe not, but it depends upon the intention behind the prayer. It is more important that Mr. Evans is blinded to the fact that the winner is an instrument of the devil.

    One who practices witchcraft is diametrically opposed to the will of God. The enemy will supply whatever means is necessary to help his blind minions on Earth accomplish his purpose: to destroy those who are of God. The winner has agreed to sell his soul to the devil by becoming a full-time teacher of Wicca. Shameful, simply shameful.

    I pray for this man’s soul that it will not be eternally lost and so should your readers.

    LOL
    People really believe this stupid crap!

    I almost feel sorry for them. They are obviously very insecure in their own faith to see any diversity as a terrifying threat, and in league with a cosmic bogeyman.

    You'd think that being omnipotent and all that if God really minded about non-christians that he'd do something about them, like I don't know inflict a giant flood or some plagues. *shrug*

    Sounds like a pretty normal response in this day and age, in this country.

    I know, it's horrible. But to be honest, the ignorance is waning...

    Hey, Ingrid, don't tell ME who or what I should pray for! You can't control ME, man! Additional generic REBEL comment! ;)

    It is funny how she's perpetuating the same old fundamentalist stereotype, though. (You know, funny in that really depressing way.)

    At least none of the Christians I know act like that, thank gods! :)
