U.S religious leaders seek God's help to reduce the spiralling cost of gas

Religious leaders were to meet in Washington today to pray publicly for gasoline prices to ease, organizers with the group Pray Live said.

"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," said Wenda Royster, founder of Pray Live, a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week live prayer line, e-worship centre, and Internet radio station.

Several leaders of Protestant organizations from Washington plan to participate in the event.

The rise in prices at gasoline stations has raised concerns in the United States, leading President George W. Bush to demand a federal inquiry to ensure Americans are not being swindled at the pump. AFP

Preachers: Let Us Pray
Big Oil: Let Us Prey

Guess who wins?

Or feminists and illegal aliens.

If them damn wetbacks would stop crossin' the Rio Grande, our boys in the Border Patrol and the fine Patriotic Minutemen wouldn't have to be using up gas driving all over the place to catch 'em.

Does that mean high gas prices are a part of God's plan? :sarcasm:

planet you gave us. Thank you.

I make a lowsy $15,000/year and I have a long commute to work. So, gas prices are obviously killing me. But I'm not going to complain, because I know it's good in the long run. We MUST use less gas, or the earth will melt at both ends and destroy our civilization.

These people are insane ! Absolutely mad ! and in a permanent state of denial..

I for one will never, ever, forget what these regressive bastards are doing to us!

I must have missed that passage in the Bible.

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

that's how stupid these people sound

this was widely reported a couple of weeks ago in a study involving prayer and patients having surgery.
Those patients prayed for actually did worse than those not prayed for.
So. These people might be able to find a better use of their time by helping people. Reading to children who were born with AIDs. Visiting the elderly. Distributing books and food to children living in poverty.
And not spending so much time drawing attention to themselves.

Where does one even begin?????
:rofl:

...they must be praying for the Chimp's and Cheney's impeachment.

:rofl:
Hard to believe there are really people that out to lunch in the 21st century.
