Just pray for them in your own church or home. I don’t care. You don’t bother me. I just want to put it back in your face that you’re not as perfect as you say you are. Most hypocrites after Sunday is not. The horns come out and then they start coming back to the weekend and they start putting on their suit and tie and all that, sitting in churches with their ties and that’s fine. After that it’s back to the back-stabbing society of the world. Not just America but the world. Thank you folks, ladies and gentlemen. God bless America.
