Just for the record - Jesus said that we should NOT pray in public - but in private.

Different jesus, man. You don't know these rednecks.

See....I'd have to ask that fucking waitress if the food was really that bad?

Hell, I'll pretend to pray to an imaginary friend if it means I save money. Why not?

Is that even possible in North Carolina?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Anything is possible with God.

Hey. If you pray for 15% off and the asswipes give it to you does that mean jesus is real?

Just for the record - Jesus said that we should NOT pray in public - but in private.

The text, from the NIV, for Matt 6:5:

Quote:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

He surely implies that he doesn't like folks praying in public, and says so directly in subsequent verses.

But humor uses the tools at hand, and there you go.
