How would your react if some politician asked you to pray to baby Jesus for a gas pipeline?

Imagine a grown adult pulling that on you in front of other adults with a straight face.

My reaction would not be pleasant.

1. I would report the church to the IRS

for being involved in political issues.

[ColbertWatcher]

19. This is the only response. n/t

[NightWatcher]

2. I would rise up against the fundamentalist theocratic state and overthrow them

and I say we should plan on it if they try to steal this one from us

[jkshaw]

3. I'd think the politician would need therapy. Stat.

On the other hand, I live in Utah, and I imagine 70% of the people here would think the request perfectly sensible.

[Bob Dobbs]

4. I would work to marginalize and discredit their radical sociopathology.

Absurdity beyond belief.

5. Didn't baby Jesus grow up to be adult Jesus at some point?

Or has there been a second, new Jesus that can be prayed to?

[Fresh_Start]

6. he was more pure and saintly when he was a baby

when he grew-up he started doing nuance.

[flvegan]

7. Nuance? Is that like some heavy Biblical type dope?

[Fresh_Start]

9. no its like some New Testament dope

v Old Testament dope

[On the Road]

8. Oh Man, That Just Opens it Up to the Whole Will Farrell Rant

from Talledega Nights. Those dinner prayers were the highlight of the movie.

[MadrasT]

10. I'd tell him/her to increase the dosage. n/t

[hulklogan]

11. Laugh.

Wouldn't praying to BP be more effective?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. all those who believe in gas and oil pipelines wil roast in Hell

[frylock]

13. raucous laughter

[islandmkl]

14. aww, man.....i ask his DAD for winning lottery tickets all the time...

success level about the same, so far....

[provis99]

15. what, I can't pray for immortality, enormous wealth and tremendous sex

but I can pray for a pipeline in Alaska? Sign me up!!!

[mentalsolstice]

16. I'd probably snort my communion wine out my nose! eom

[man4allcats]

17. I'd say it's too late to pray to Baby Jesus

because He grew up long ago and was subsequently crucified by the same kind of people who would pray for things like gas pipelines and vote for the likes of Republican politicians.

[krabigirl]

18. I'd ask for a hit of whatever that person is smoking.

[spin]

20. Prayer never hurts...

but be careful what you pray for. The Gods just may have a sense of humor.

[Fuzz]

21. I'd rather have a pony

;)

[mitchum]

22. I would wonder why a bunch of belligerent Christians were petitioning a Jewish toddler

[L0oniX]

23. Sarah Palin and the Wasilla Church of God. Sarah wants you to pray for oil company's.

24. About the same way I'd react if someone asked me to pray for an infestation of fleas.
