Pat Robertson, ever eager to make himself look foolish, has publicly urged Christians to 'cry to the Lord' to influence three Supreme Court justices to step down.

Broadcaster Pat Robertson calls for retirement of justices

The accompanying picture is interesting- Robertson with his eyes screwed shut and looking like he's constipated. (Why do some people do this? Inquiring minds would really like to know...) I have to wonder what God thinks about this cheekiness?

From my own point of view, such calls for mass prayer to influence another in any way smack of traditional black magick (or toxic prayer, which is just as bad, if not worse)- which is manipulative and controlling. Of course, they'd never admit this, but the karmic blowback from such activities will not be averted just because the ones praying are 'Christian'.

"If we fast and pray and earnestly seek God’s face, then He will hear our prayer and give us relief."

God just might have a warped sense of humor and decide to relieve the world of Mr. Robertson. Talk about the ultimate karmic blowback... Now, that would be justice truly served. Be careful what you pray for, folks...you just might get it.
