I Tried to report it as a violation but you have to be signed up to do so...

So all you zazzle converts please report this.

1. Well, IMHO, this is just stupid. It's not a threat to his life. n/t

7. Psalm 109:8 clearly does not.

11. Yes it does clearly ask for death
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 06:14 PM by MattBaggins
unless you want to play the bullshit of ignoring what is right before and after it. One of the biggest reasons I gave up on religion so long ago. Pretend you can just use one tiny little part of something and re-translate it at every whim so it says what you want.

I am not an idiot and that psalm clearly asks for death.

12. In question is Psalm 109:8, not the entire Psalm.

13. Homey don't play that game
I am not sure whether you are of the Christian faith or not, and it really doesn't matter, but that is a standard tactic of Christian arguments; that you can attribute any meaning you want to verses and take them out of context. You can conveniently ignore the rest of it; but I will not so we may not be able to agree on this.

http://basicenglishbible.com/psalms/109.htm
"Let his life be short" That is a prayer for death.

From the Bible of MattBaggins

If thy neighbor pees upon thine leg
and seeks to assuage thee with his silver tongue
and convince thee that it is raining;
thou art to look him in the eye and say unto him
I am no fool

14. You are free to read the entire Psalm. The secret service won't.

15. Really? You actually think the SS isn't intelligent enough
to figure out the first part of interpreting something is context? You really believe that none of them will think to read the whole thing in order to determine what it means?

16. I don't believe the Secret Service will see it as a threat and arrest anyone.

17. For the most part I agree with you
I think the whole thing is silly and nothing will come of it. Let cafe press sell it and let people put it on their cars. They get to express their constitutionally protected right to free speech; and I get to recognize them as assholes.

My beef has been with people trying to say the Psalm is not a death curse. It's free speech but still a death curse.

3. Cooking the President, one may assume, involves killing him. Thus, it is a threat.
Report it.
