And also what happened to an old adage about “Blessing your enemies.” You have to be a deep down believer to do that. It is a test of you if you cannot.

but in actual context, the comment was only offered because they got the money. their lives are changed due to cashing in on their evil, and hoping they can’t enjoy their lives after cashing in on it, is proper.

it is perfectly fine to pray and say that you hope evil people do not prosper or enjoy the fruits of their evil.

to bless them is to encourage them to do more evil. look at the homosexuals and see how much more evil they become when people and govt tell them how awesome they are and make them special privileged classes all b/c of the evil they do.

Nope, one Jesus Christ overrules you. In fact to bless them is to encourage them to repent... yes you read that right.

The real victim (Central Park jogger) should file a civil suite.
