George Michael has taken to Twitter to condemn US Christian groups who prayed for his death during his recent illness. The singer cancelled the remainder of his Symphonica European tour when he was stuck down with pneumonia, spending several weeks in a Vienna hospital.
On January 4th Michael posted a series of tweets linking to a website from the USA based group Christians for a Moral America. Michael said,
‘Speaking of which, did you know that while I was fighting for my life in Austria there were a bunch of those lovely American ‘Christian’ organizations, who call themselves ‘Christians for a Moral America,’ who were actually taking the time to pray for me to die.
How very sweet of them, considering how busy they must be on the whole. Now don’t get me wrong, I know for a fact that many devout Christians, such as the one I work rest and play with on a daily basis, are truly wonderful, kind hearted men and women who take the best parts of that religion and live admirable, generous and loving lives.
But in my opinion, and I think those made evident by those who prayed for my death, there are others who use their twisted interpretations of ancient scriptures as a pathetic excuse to be…wait for it, wait for it….!
Totally f–ked up c–ksucking bastards. And not in a good way….! Oh my GOD that felt good…I must be getting BETTER!’
George Michael is scheduled to bring his Symphonica tour to Australia later this year and is expected to play at Sandalford Estate on March 31.
