"If we fast and pray and earnestly seek God's face, then He will hear our prayer and give us relief. One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer, and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?" You may weep and fast and weep and pray you may. You may pray and fast that it comes at last, you bast— You may pray what you will you may pray—and you will and you will You will pray and pray in hate of the gay as you say You pray for hate sponsored by the state yes hate As for me, I pray too yes, I pray for you— a swift kick in the crotch will surely do for hatemongers like you. · · · · · ·
