Post by: Marcus Aurelius on September 19, 2011, 11:45:01 AM
So, how well did Rick Perry's prayer rally really do over one month later?

Not sure about the damages from the quake but it sounds like Rick Perry only pissed God off more.

It's just a test of faith.

Does that mean that the worse things get, the more we know God exists because he's testing us even further?

Sure, it's like a video game. If you do really well, you unlock the 'hard' mode. Rick Perry is a l337 gamer.

I like that top comment.

To all who pray, what exactly are you telling God?

1. You think he's ignorant of whatever issues or problems you're praying about.

2. You think he can't tell you're unhappy about those issues.

3. You think you've got a better idea on what to do about the issues than whatever God was planning to do.

4. You think God knew about the issues and had a great response plan but he's such a dick that he was waiting for you to beg before he'd implement the plan.

and the following:

"Nothing fails like prayer."

However, it has been raining a lot in the Midwest. Maybe God doesn't know where Texas is.

Precisely.
By that logic then all Republicans should be voting Democrat to increase their pain and suffering.

Isn't voting Republican increasing their pain and suffering enough?
