Prayer At the Pump

[MikeNearMcChord]

Rocky Twyman says nothing else has worked, so he's urging motorists to pray for lower gasoline prices when they fuel up.
Twyman says he and his fellow volunteers at a church soup kitchen launched "Pray at the Pump" today at a gas station in Washington D.C.
After fueling up their cars, Twyman says they bowed their heads and asked God for cheaper gas.
There was no immediate answer, but he says other motorists joined in and the service station owner didn't run them off.
Twyman says that if God brought down the walls of Jericho when the ancient Hebrews prayed, then divine intervention can bring down gas prices

6. Why not pray while riding their bicycle?

doing it they will reduce demand for gas, reduce carbon monoxide and will gain a healthy habit. Let's change our SUV culture to a bike riding culture.

Although blood stains stay on sidewalks forever.

8. Dumbasses. Everyone knows Jesus likes capitalism.

Besides, if God wanted lower prices, there would be lower prices. Don't waste your prayers on this (save it for the Super Bowl).

If you can't afford the gas, that's just part of God's plan.

10. Praying, an excuse to do nothing...

I also think of it as begging.

People and their dark age nonsense..:eyes:

12. Wow.

Anti-prayer bigotry, that's open minded.

13. What Would Jesus Do?

Drive the corrupt cabal of profiteering republicon homelander cronies out of the people's governmental temple in Washington.

Fer sure.

14. Walk!

Jesus would have walked.

Rufus: Back in the old days with J.C., we walked everywhere. Did you ever hear of a fat apostle?
