Does God answer your prayers? Cause He sure answered Charlie Crist's prayers?
Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 03:25 PM by Bucky
So how come God likes Charlie Crist more than me?

Are You There, God? It's Me, Charlie
Eric Kleefeld | August 21, 2009 | TPM-DC


Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) is really taking his appeals to the state's religious right to a new level, in his campaign for Senate.

Town Hall reports that Crist was speaking to a group of real estate agents, and credited prayer notes in the Western Wall in Jerusalem with preventing his state from being hit by hurricanes during his time as governor.

Crist told of how he visited the Wall in 2007, and placed a note saying: "Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie."

"Time goes on -- May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December -- no hurricanes," Crist said. "Thank God."

Crist has also had other people place notes in the Wall in 2008 and 2009.

Crist made it clear that's he's not personally taking credit for Florida having been spared from hurricanes. "I give that to God," Crist said. "But it's nice."


And now a prayer of thanksgiving: Oh our Lord and Savior, who watches over us from Heaven, thanks be unto you for killing all those people in North Carolina, Mexico, Cuba, south Texas, Guatemala, Galveston, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico instead of Florida. You da Man, Lord. Really, I owe ya one. PS, Lord, make me win my Senate election in 2010. Amen."

1. He must be crazy to believe that...
Everyone knows it is because of the new weather satellites controlling the weather by magnetic induction of the ionosphere and chemical seeding of developing storms. ;P

2. God doesn't listen to prayers but I'm convinced that is why....
he created Karma.
You either have good karma or bad karma.
Let the chips fall where they might.

3. The Bible says that the sun shines and the rain falls upon the just and the unjust.
Translation: shit happens.

4. I live in Florida and I hope, (Just for spite) that a Hurricane comes and kills us all.
:)

I know I'll be dead but at least, it might put a stop to that prayer nonsense.
As my Grandmother used to say: "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are...It doesn't work"

5. But doesn't God "hate" Charlie Crist?
That's what Fred Phelps keeps telling me anyway.

6. God answers all prayers.
Most of the time, the answer is "no."

7. I've been doing it all wrong!
You have to take your prayer, in writing, to the Jews.

Now they tell me.

No wonder my prayers didn't work before.

Sheesh.

8. 2009, And A Man Like This Is Not Only Not Spouting His Opinion From a Street Corner
in threadbare clothes and a long gray beard, but is actually the duly-elected Governor of a state.

If there was a god, it would have wiped us out ages ago for our stupidity as a species.
