If we are Christians, is it wrong to pray that God will be merciful towards Saddam Hussein?

Hi, I'm new to this community and am currently a student at the Catholic University of America. I happen to be doing some research on stem cells, which i happen to be against but the more I thought about it, the less I knew why i was fighting for this cause. I know that disposing of the embryo after usage of the cells is morally wrong by killing a life, but what else is there to motivate me to help me understand better why i should be so against this research that could potentially save thousands of lives and help cure numerous diseases. What are your thoughts or comments? Or maybe is there a site that you could point me in that would help me? thank you!
jesus worship gone slightly awry
After the Rapture (The Rapture is when Jesus will gather His followers together in heaven. See John 14:2-3), a religious leader will arise. The Bible refers to him as the False Prophet because while he claims to be from God he is, in fact, inspired by Satan. He will team with Satan and the Antichrist to form an unholy trinity. Satan imitates the Father, The Antichrist imitates the Son, and the False Prophet imitates the Holy Spirit. And, just as the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus, the False Prophet draws people to the Antichrist.
The Bible lays out how he will accomplish this goal:
1) HE WILL APPEAR TO BE PEACEFUL
“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” (Revelation 13:11)
The False Prophet will appear to be a man of peace and unity. That’s why Revelation 13:11 says he has horns like a lamb. But he will speak like a dragon. His message will be against the Bible and Christians.
no shit. hang all christians (and goats) now?
2) HE WILL BE THE HEAD OF A ONE WORLD RELIGION
“And he exercises all the authority of the first beast [the Antichrist] in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” (Revelation 13:12)
The False Prophet will unite the world’s religions. While the idea of all religions coming together as one sounds wonderful all religions do not teach the same thing. Truth is not relative; it is absolute. One teaching is right. The others are wrong.
yeah. because having one god is EVIL and making GULLIBLE people fight one another is GOOD
Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no man can go to heaven and be with God except through Him (John 14:6). One road leads to God, the rest lead away from Him. Those who follow this one world religion are the enemies of God and will be separated from Him in hell forever (Matthew 7:13-14).
stick to the one road. you know you want to.
3) HE WILL PERFORM SIGNS & WONDERS
“He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” (Revelation 13:13)
In order to gain a greater following, the False Prophet will perform many miracles and the world will be amazed. But don’t be deceived. Satan comes disguised as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14-15) and so do his followers. Like Matthew 7:15 says, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.”
miracles. don't trust them. jesus could do them, the devil can do them, use your soul to decide who has the moral high ground
4) HE WILL FORCE THE WORLD TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST
“And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived." (Revelation 13:14)
He starts out peaceful like a lamb, unites the world’s religions and performs miraculous feats. Once he has gained the trust of the world, the False Prophet will command that an image of the Antichrist be made.
well if he manages to make a peaceful, fair world then i'll worship him. devil or not.
5) HE WILL KILL THOSE WHO DO NOT WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST
“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast [Antichrist], that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” (Revelation 13:15)
After performing another miracle – making the image of the beast speak – he will kill those who refuse to worship the image. But those who refuse to worship should be encouraged. Jesus told us not to fear those who can kill the body, but rather fear those who can kill the body and cast the soul into hell (Matthew 10:28). For those who follow Christ, death is not to be feared because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).
and kill the baddies...
what i love about christianity is jesus anger as he saw the laziness of the temple. that's my idea of a messiah. rock on j.

Intro and Request
Hello, everyone. I'm new. I've read some entries in the community here and there and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to find you.
For a little background, my name is Julia, I'm 24 years old, a semi-newlywed, and have accepted a position as an academic advisor at Montreat College. Montreat is a "Christ-centered" university, and I have found everyone that I have met here so far to be very nice.
As for myself, I would consider myself a Christian, but I also believe in many things that most Christians do not. I can talk more about that if anyone is interested, but for now, I was telling you because it's important to my request.
I need to give a devotional and prayer at orientations that I facilitate. I have studied the Bible, and, years ago, done many devotionals. But I no longer do devotionals or read the Bible on a daily (or weekly, or monthly...) basis, and haven't heard a devotional that I would consider to be both inspiring and intelligent in YEARS.
I think that most of my students are Christians, and it goes without saying that my devotions should be Bible-based, but I also want to do something that is open to interpretation. Of course, since it is to be done at orientation, it could be something centered on new journeys OR on education as it relates to faith.
Any ideas? Sorry for being long-winded.

Good interview!!!
I don't know what happened to sunday 1pm Thistle and Samrock but there was something else even cooler in it's place (even though I missed the first twenty minutes). I didn't explore the site much, just bulldozed through to find the transcript:

I love stumbling across Christians with non-mainstream, non-stareotyped points of view!

So I just finished watching the first season of Big Love on HBO. It was a wicked good show (can't expect any less from HBO). I never really thought much of polygamy until now. My first reaction is as long as they aren't hurting anyone, what's the big deal?
Jesus was a polygamist?? And, oddly enough, it states that yes Mary Magdalene was his wife and he had two others as well. I have never read the bible, or attended any sunday school or even went to church regularly, but uhh... besides reading the The DaVinci Code, I had never heard of the Jesus being married to ANY one at all, nevermind three any ones.
Women are also told that, because they have the all- important ability to bear children, men need the power of the priesthood merely to remain equal with them.
I know what you're selling Mister, and I'm not buying it.
I think that the majority of the women who are happy in their polygamist lifestyles are uneducated to anything else. Religion and guilt can be such strong motivators to stay in a situation that any realist would otherwise walk away from. But, I don't know- perhaps they truly feel blessed and special.
What do you guys think?

Are your cats old enough to learn about Jesus?
People often ask me when they should teach the Good News to their housecats. I have but one answer: "What are you waiting for?"
A pet is a beloved part of your family, and as a Christian, you should do everything you can to guarantee that this valued member of your family receives the glorious eternal reward for which Christ gave His very life. Think of the alternative: your cat mired in darkness for eternity because you put off a 10-minute conversation.
My own cats accepted Jesus into their hearts before they even opened their eyes. The light of salvation has brightened their lives, but perhaps the most noticeable change has been in me. I am filled with warmth knowing their eternal souls have been saved.
Kittens' hearts, at birth, are filled with what theologians call "original mischief." Mischief, if left to grow on its own, can sprout into evil. That's why you must fill their hearts with Jesus instead. If you wait, your cats might find seductive role models among the back-alley strays and rough felines from the wrong side of town. You could also end up with an unwanted pregnancy.
That's why it's so very, very important to tell your cats about the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus as early as possible. The Nicene Creed is a good place to start: Recite it to them when they are about 10 weeks old.
