Fundies "Pray at the pump"

[Holly_Hobby]

:crazy:

As cars surged steadily down McCord Road, a familiar melody rose from the circle of people beside the gas pumps at the Exxon-Mobil station on the corner of Hill Avenue.

"He's got the gas prices, in His hands. He's got the gas prices, in His hands ..."

Heads bowed and hands clasped, Rocky Twyman and the congregants of his small worship session hoped to do what the country's leaders haven't: Put an end to the steep increase in national fuel prices.

"God is telling us to stop depending on ourselves so much and trust in Him," said Mr. Twyman, founder of Pray at the Pump. "Bush can't solve this. McCain and Obama are not going to be able to solve this."

1. How sad is that.

People vote Reep and then pray for deliverance.

Their poor little minds just can't make the
connections.

[baldguy]

Slaves who give the slave driver a whip

Then pray for deliverance when he starts whipping them.

2. So what happens when prayer doesn't work?

:crazy:

[baldguy]

4. Cut taxes!

That's the GOP solution for everything.

[Mooney]

7. Pray more.

If something doesn't work, just do more of it.

3. Onionesque

Water into high-octane?

[otohara]

5. God Telling Us, It's Over

no more seeing the USA in your Chevrolet 24/7

9. Maybe I'll just go pray at that big juicy T-bone steak over there in the meat counter.

Maybe that case of Samuel Adams too while I'm at it.

Wait, the Bible doesn't believe in geology.

16. You beat me to that one. I guess if you believe the Earth is only

5000 years old, then the Good Lord™ might miracle you up some neverending gusher of oil.

[madmom]

12. Yep that's my Ohio, blame everything except the "righteous republicans"!

[lectrobyte]

15. Seems offensive and blasphemous to me. The article does

have an interesting quote about "microwave Christianity" and "folks not wanting to toil." If they are really interested in fixing the problem, then they should be praying for mass transit and alternative energy, last time I checked they weren't shovelling dinosaurs into the ground to make more oil for us to consume.

[NoFederales]

18. To be seen is their goal, as well as to loudly bray publicly--go find a fucking closet. nt

19. This is the kind of blasphemy that only fundamentalists can manage. n/t

21. Are we rapture, yet?

If I were the station owner, I'd have them arrested for tresspassing.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Oh brother!

Thanks for the OP.

24. The FORD's Prayer

Our Father, apart in heaven,

While the Middle East's aflame;

thy BP come;

thy Shell be done,

to Earth as it is nearly the rapture and we're all outta here anyway.

Guzzle us this day our daily gas,

and forgive us our SUVs,

as we are going to keep driving them anyway and you can't stop us.

And lead us not into the gas station;

but deliver us from evil freedom-hating-terraists.

For thine is the Gazprom,

the petro, and the gulf oil,

For ANWR and ANWR.

Exxon.



And at mealtimes:

God is great, God is good.
And we thank him for our crude.
