Lower gas prices soon

Too bad we can't run cars on wishful thinking.

Doesn't God reward those most pious?

The real question is how to become most pious.... I have heard it said that in some churches, more $ donated get you closer to the front of the line for most pious congregation member.

Hmmm. Is piety for sale?

 

Yes, forget those starving people in other countries. Pray to God to lower gas prices so most can fill up their SUVs. I'm sure he will get right on that after he makes sure Boston beats the Yankees!!!

 

As the joke (addage?) goes:

"A man falls into the sea, and prays to God for help. A boat comes but the man says 'No, I don't need your help because God will save me.' Later in the day a second boat comes by, the bobbing man repeats 'No, God will save me.' Finally the third boat comes and, despite being near the limits of fatigue, the man declines rescue. 'God will save me.' The captain of the fourth boat finds his lifeless body.

"Upon entering heaven, the man has to ask God, 'Why didn't you save me?' God replies 'I sent you three boats, dummy!! What did you expect?'"

Personally, my version of God sees this stuff and immediately puts palm to forehead. What are these great big brains for if not to solve our own stinkin' problems?

 

this has potential imo. not from the action they're taking by praying at a gas station, but if we can get that reduce-your-use message across in big church congregations, it could have a pretty big effect.

these are people who are LOOKING for someone who will tell them how to live their lives, to guide them. and that's ok, because that's what they want and that's what they get through church. but is this not the perfect situation to teach them how to conserve as well?

i mean, if there is a god, i imagine s/he is pretty pissed about how we're treating his/her earth. s/he might even be laughing at the high price of gas.

 

Be careful what you ask for. God's intervention is usually of biblical proportions.

I fell into a deep sleep and I slept and an angel appeared unto me. I asked the angel to reduce my fuel bill and the angel delivered unto me a Prius.

 

Smote comes to mind. :target:

He may be too old for that kind of work now.

Well if all the god botherers stand on the forecourt of the petrol station praying and no one can get their car to the pumps the manager might lower the price a cent or two just to get them to P*** off!! Then again he might call the police and they get a free ride down town.

 

Was Malorn in attendance? I was going to ask if he was leading the prayer session, but the answer was clear from the article.
