text: is it wrong to pray to jesus to strike down a sinner? im only trying to help them get their just rewards!!! well, i think that it’s primitive, but you can pray that if you want.  it won’t matter.  i know that not all christians think this way, but this is the reason so many people think that christianity is a angry, hateful religion; it’s always about punishing the “sinners” and people who think differently and rewarding the good christians.  of course if you are talking about something really bad that the person did (like murder, rape, etc.), then i do think it is normal and healthy to be angry about that.  instead of praying about it, actually do something that will make a difference.
