Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Dear God, Help me win the lottery

And other useless prayers:

A U.S. Christian group has grown tired of escalating gasoline prices and is set to stage a national prayer rally to lower the numbers at the pumps.

Various Christian clergy from around the country will convene around a Washington, D.C., gas station Thursday at noon to pray. For those who can't attend, a live Internet site and toll-free prayer line have been established.

In a release, the Pray Live group said many people are "overlooking the power of prayer when it comes to resolving this energy crisis."

Apart from sending a message to God, the rally had a message for humanity, said Wenda Royster, the group's founder.

"It is our hope that seeing and hearing some of the nation's most powerful preachers gathered around a gas station and the United States capital as a backdrop, will remind everyone who is really in charge of our world -- God," Royster said.

I added a link to this post in my post about the proposed gas tax holiday.

When this doesn't work, can we finally all agree that God does not control oil prices?

Retards!

Maybe high oil prices are God's way of telling us to stop using so much oil.

"God to US: You're melting my glaciers; Stop with the oil already!"

All faithful should meet at their local church to board the Pray Live Hummers and H2s for the trip to the gas station.
