lets all adopt a terrorist for lent…if we all pray for these people then we give god the doorway he needs to step in and change their hearts…if god converts them and changes them then it averts more trouble from happening

Or, one could pray for an end to the political practices that make terrorism inevitable.

Lol this is great =]

We can pray for both, for the conversions of terrorists, and for an intellectual awakening that defines what the role of governments is and how to treat non-Muslims from within the Middle East

Doubt this will help convert terrorists, but good luck Crystal!

I hate to be a stickler, but as an expectant adoptive mother and a linguist, I really take issue with the laissez-faire attitude with which the term “adopt” is used in contexts that actually mean to say “sponsor”, be it financially or spiritually or otherwise. To adopt means to take over all legal, moral, financial, emotional parental rights and responsiblities of a child, making a child that wasn’t previously related to you your very own daughter or son. Things like “adopt a highway” or this just make me cringe.
