1. Can I get a "womp"?

Anyone? Anyone?

Well, I guess we're all outta womps to give...

[Aristus]

2. I guess he didn't pray hard enough...

22. Perhaps some were praying for him to catch a whiff of Karma.

I'm sure their Gawd has to sort out conflicting prayers all the time.

3. He's just not that into you. Never calls, never writes. Never answers his prayers.

He's been ghosted.

[Iterate]

7. 2,000 years and not even a postcard. It might be time to move on.

9. No shit, right?

lmao

4. Probably I Oughtn't To, Ma'am

But I enjoy items like this....

6. So do I, my dear.

10. The Entire 'Fundamentalist' Movement Violates Biblical Directives, Ma'am

A Christian is not to bring suit in a secular court, and if sued, is to confess judgement.

A Christian fallen ill is to be prayed over by the elders of the congregation and anointed with oil for treatment of the illness, and seek no other help.

These are quite explicit instructions from the Epistles of Paul, which might actually be genuine documents.

He went to a doctor, he got drugs and oxygen? He is an unbeliever with no right to pastor a Christian congregation.

8. Not enough faith.

Jesus said if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains, so apparently Rev. So-and-so didn't really believe. I would like to suggest to anyone that in order to prove your faith to God, you should plant your seed by sending me some money. The more money, the more faith. I'll pray for you and we'll stop that Covid together. Anytime you start feeling poorly, you can send me more. If you're going to vote Republican, you're going to need some type of insurance.

[Shermann]

13. And if you still catch it, then you didn't send enough money

It's like the blind leading the blind to a blind auction.

14. Like the song that never ends.

[world wide wally]

11. WTF

Is it actually required that you have to be stupid as a stick or crazy as a loon to support Trump?

I am so glad to be on the other side.

[lunatica]

17. Well, Duh!

Trump supporter —>

15. Guess he didn't pray hard enough.

19. Covid

is an atheist.

[lindysalsagal]

20. This crap should end religion, it's failed so miserably.

But it's an addiction, so they don't need it to make sense.

21. All Prayers Are Answered

Sometimes the answer is "No!".
And in this case, the answer was followed by " Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha....Dumbass!"

23. I Have Long Liked This Line, Sir, From Betty Bowers

"Prayer is how you tell God His plan for you is not just wrong, but shockingly cheap."

[ProfessorGAC]

25. That Is, Indeed, A Solid Line

Thanks!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. He screwed up and prayed for protection from COVID-20.

KY...........
