Remember, "blessed are the merciful, for THEY shall obtain mercy. I fully believe in personal responsibility and the mercy of God. I need all I can get.
I even pray that prayer for nasty spirited cons who prey on people's gullibility and for arrogant libs who lead them astray.

Hey MOW (and Rhoni),
I think that is in the Bible, what a novel idea, a person who actually uses biblical priniciples to pray for someone, instead of tear them down ... amazing
Now TB is NOT my enemy, but I think that the principle from the following verse can still apply;
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matt 5:43-48
(POST SCRIPT.. Unless of course that man is preaching something you don't agree with, in which case plead my wrath on them, and as you watch it fall, sit back and laugh because you are walking so perfectly in my will every day -- God)
